Browser downloads file.

[Anon]

Hi.

When I try to run my php file under apache, the browser tries to download the file.
Does anyone have an explanation for this.
I had it working but it now does this all the time.

Thanks

Make sure you have a line in your apache configuration that looks like this:

AddType application/x-httpd-php .phtml .php .php3 .php4

and make sure that your PHP file has one of those extensions listed (preferably .php)

Also, here's some useful information if you're running PHP on windows. This was posted by ZaraWebFX in another thread:

1. URL
   http://127.0.0.1/testi.php
   (otherwise the webserver/php won't be requested)

2. Content from http.conf [assuming: php.exe located in c:\php]:
   ...
   ScriptAlias /php/ "c:/php/"
   AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
   AddType application/x-httpd-php .php3
   Action application/x-httpd-php "/php/php.exe"
   ...

you don't need php.exe, it sucks. rather use isapi:
LoadModule php4_module c:/programme/server/php/sapi/php4apache.dll
(load module section)
AddModule mod_php4.c (addmodule section)
AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .phps (for source files)

AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php3
AddType application/x-httpd-php .phtml
