Only showing source - but parsing php

[Anon]

Hi.

I'm working on a page that implements FastTemplates. When I view it in IE it works exactly as it should. When I view it in Netscape it shows the HTML source as plain text.

I have no idea why it is doing this. When I try and do a check from validator.w3.org it says the page is coming up as text/plain and it cannot continue. If I copy the source and paste it into a text editor and then view that page in netscape it seems to work okay. Is there something on Apache's side that is messing things up?

Is it a fastTemplate problem?

Your header is incorrect. the w3.org page is right...you need to make sure php is sending the right header and you arn't overriding the mime type with some other header call.

Thanks for the reply Tom, but how do I change the mime type? THe file is index.phtml - where do I change the header? Is it in httpd.conf?

Could it be the .tpl files that are messing things up?

[toma42]

no. Search your code for headers that may be changing it first. If you don't find any, there is a section in the php.ini that defines a default mime type to send.

I seem to remember having a similar problem to this once. I went in to the header and made sure there was a <TITLE> title </TITLE> tag and Netscape was happy again.

THere is nothing headerwise in the source that I can see. It seems to be that whenever I use fastTemplates I get the error. Does that help? Is there something in there that I am missing?

What is the php.ini command I need to change?

Thanks for your help. If I copy and paste the source and view it as a plain (already parsed) html file it works okay.
