Joey, It sounds like PHP is not telling apache that is a Content-type of text/html. See this line in PHP.ini (which should be in c:\<windows directory>).
default_mimetype = "text/html" Also, try adding a line in your httpd.conf for .html files like this: AddType application/x-httpd-php .html and then see if html files do the same thing. I have my server(s) set up this way. -Dash p.s. does Apache run as a service on XP Home? -----Original Message----- From: joey [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, April 19, 2002 8:25 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [PHP-WIN] Re: can't view php Ok i'm using Apache 1.3.24 and PHP 4.1.2 and the windows platform is XP home edition yes i've added this line in my httpd.conf file AddType application/x-httpd-php .php "Joey" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote in message [EMAIL PROTECTED]">news:[EMAIL PROTECTED]... > Everytime i try to view a php file on my server it prompts me to download > the file then opens it up in word pad.
