I just installed an Apache server on my WindowsXP machine at home for
testing out web sites as a testing server. Everything is working fine with
that. I then installed php 5.1.2. Everything seems to be configured right
because when I type in the url to the php info file
http://localhost/php5_info.php it brings it up in the browser's address line
but I keep getting the "File Download" box instead of just having the php
file open in Explorer like it would do on the internet. I am new to testing
servers and would like to know if this something I have to reconfigure in
WindowsXP, Apache, my PHP configuration files or a combination of the three?
 
Sorry Yolonda, Can You Say me that I want to make a suggestion to
microsoft excel. So on which e-mail address i can send my suggestion to
microsoft excel?
I am wandering in lots of pages but could not find because of lake of
knowledge of searching.

Hi,
This is an issue related to appache.
you should associate the .php extension with a proper content type and
script engine. you can do this by editing apache coniguration file,
httpd.conf . see apache manuals for details.
BYE
