I did that, creating a new subdirectory with only one file in it, and I got the source code displayed in the browser when I just went to www.mydomain.com/test/ -- but when I went to www.mydomain.com/test/index.php4 the code was interpreted and I got the output you would expect. This is what's weird -- if it isn't configured to recognise anything other than .htm and .html, why am I not getting either a directory listing or "forbidden"? If Apache knows it's got to look for index.php4, why is it just returning it to the browser instead of interpreting it first? I'm sure there must be some kind of misconfiguration. The ISP say they can't possibly change anything because it would affect everyone else on the server -- a good thing, I would have thought, since they can't have many clients who want their includes to fail and their PHP source to be displayed to the world. Chris is right, the ISP is a dog (ex-telco monopoly and it shows!). They seem to think I'm making a fuss about nothing and I should just stick an index.html in every directory with a meta-refresh of zero redirecting to the real page. The client insisted on using this ISP, and the site launches today, so that's what I've done for the present. I'll try to talk them into switching hosts later. Thanks for your help anyway ...
