No. I don't think there is that option in html-kit, but I think that this may be the key. If you (a person) can save the file as the proper type there's probably no reason to send the header() function, or for that matter there would probably be no REASON to send the header(). >> 8. open it in the web browser > > Before opening it in your browser, did you try opening again in your > editor just to see whether you saved it correctly?

But like I said I think it may be because of the type it saves the file as. >> A friend later figured out that the header() declaration at the top >> of the page was what made the difference. > > Did this one work for you? Yes, adding the header() made the page display correctly from my server. >> Do you know why it wouldn't work until that php code was added? > > Not really sure. But think about this.

Oh cool. I have that already so I'll try it out. Chris. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
