F12 Preview weird create new file

[tripodkid]

Hi there!

I've just started using/learning PHP and I seem to have everything running ok except for this one thing. I'm using Dreamweaver 8 and WAMP 5 (Apache 1.3.33 and PHP 5.1.1). When I hit F12 to preview a page, lets say index.php, in my browser, instead of index.php opening an identical page is created, opened and called something like "TMP9te8rr8zx6.php". This page is then added to the contents of sites root directory. If I were to type in www.localhost.com or www.localhost.com/index.php then this does not happen.

Has anyone got any idea why this is happening and how I can stop it?

Many thanks!

It's a dreamweaver setting. Open dreamweaver, then go to "Tools-->Options" and look at "Temporary Files". There should be an option to "Preview using Temporary Files" or something along those lines.
