I'm currently using PHP3 and my config files have similar stuff to yours (but without the PHP4 bits, obviously enough). (BTW, I'm thinking of upgrading to PHP4 so if anyone out there has a checklist or whatever of how to make it go smoothly, I'd love to hear about it.) > When I open it in Netscape, it wants to save it as a .php file.

You're looking in the wrong place here. Netscape does not need to know anything special to process PHP. It's Apache that spots that the file is in fact a PHP script and processes it. Netscape just gets plain old HTML. I call my scripts scriptname.php3 (I've always done that and it's always worked). I just tried renaming a script to .php and it didn't work. So, my guess is that you should name your script .php4. Hope that helps. Liam Liam Ward DV4 t: +353 1 672 7250 e: [EMAIL PROTECTED] w: www.dv4.com
