[RESOLVED] Call a php page in a frame

pg-php

Hi all, just getting started into php and my first step is to add some php to a site using frames. I have php code in a file called bottom.php and when I preview this it works correctly.

If I preview the page containing the framset which calls bottom.php then the rest of the page works (as it calls html files) and windows prompts me to open or save bottom.php - instead of running it as it does previously.

Here's the frameset code -

<FRAMESET cols="*,580,*" BORDER=0 FRAMEBORDER=no FRAMESPACING=0 MARGINWIDTH="0" MARGINHEIGHT="0">
<FRAME SRC="blue.html" NAME="white" SCROLLING="no" MARGINWIDTH="0" MARGINHEIGHT="0">
<FRAME SRC="bottom.php" NAME="main" SCROLLING="auto" MARGINWIDTH="10" MARGINHEIGHT="0">
<FRAME SRC="blue.html" NAME="white" SCROLLING="no" MARGINWIDTH="0" MARGINHEIGHT="0">
</frameset>

I am using Apache 2.2.4 and PHP .2.3 if that's of significance.

Does anybody know the stupid mistake I'm making or an explanation for it.

Thanks.

Are you running this locally on your PC? If so, be sure to launch the main page via a URL (e.g.: "http://localhost/filename.html") rather than double-clicking an icon or via the "File -> Open File" menu option of your browser. Otherwise, you are bypassing your localhost webserver.

pg-php

Yes I am running it on a local apache and took your advice and it worked.

Thanks for your help - brilliant.
