test.php doesn;t work

[wood1e]

Hi,

I hope I have selected the right forum for this question.

I have just installed Apache, and PHP, and made the adjustments that need to be made, I hope!!!

Anyway, I opened up notepad, and created test.php, and saved it in the htdocs folder. On doing this the .php file, had the dreamweaver logo on it, when I went to IE to open up test.php, a window open requesting whether I wanted to open or save, I selected save, and the test.php, opened up in Dreamweaver.

Can anyone explain this? I have obviously missed something in installation.

Did you call the file by using the File|Open option or did you browse to the file (http://localhost/test.php)? If you did the latter and browsed to it, then there is something not set up right, and I recommend you post your Q in the install forum. If you did File|Open, then browse to it instead.
