Hi guys, i set apache (1.3) up with php (latest), and when I try to execute a php file, it opens download prompt, and downloades the code!

anyone know what i have done wrong?

ooh i forgot to add. If i open root (ie http://localhost/) with a index.html file in root, it will execute the html file, but replacing index.html with index.php it will show the whole folder
ie:
Index of /

Open Apache config

Find:
#

DirectoryIndex: Name of the file or files to use as a pre-written HTML

directory index. Separate multiple entries with spaces.

#
<IfModule mod_dir.c>
DirectoryIndex index.html
</IfModule>

Change to index.php

I think that's all you need to change.
