not parsing php - off topic

[long eddy]

I'm testing a .php file -

<? phpinfo(); >?

however when the page loads I get a box that says:

File Download

Open / Save / Cancel

I'm not certain why it's not parsing php.

Any suggestions would be helpful.

Apache is on.
Win 98
and I've checked my Apache conf. file to be:

ScriptAlias /php4/ "C:/php4/"

AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .phps

Action application/x-httpd-php/php4/php.exe

Thank you,
Eddy

likely your server doesn't know what .php is.
this is a function of MIME type.
Verify that your server has PHP installed.

oops, should have said, check the .htaccess file.

If it's in the httpd.conf file it should still work, provided php is
installed where the file says it is.

I am not sure if this line is correct though (and I don't know what it
should be if it isn't)

Action application/x-httpd-php/php4/php.exe

I just thought of something!
rather than <? phpinfo(); ?> try <?php phpinfo(); ?>
