Hi again, Actually, after the ISP refused to do anything, I realised on reflection that the problem isn't exactly that -- it's something weirder; and the effects have changed slightly. If I have a directory with no index.html, but an index.php, and I access it specifying only the directory, not the filename, the server does go and get the index.php. But instead of executing the code, hey presto, it displays the source in the browser. If I specify the directory and the filename, the code is executed correctly. And the same thing happens with index.shtml files: if I just give the directory name, the file is displayed but any include directives are not parsed. If I specify the filename, they are. So maybe I'm posting this question in the wrong place -- it must be an Apache configuration problem, not a PHP problem?? I'm lost ...
