Hi friends,
when I run the url at localhost for a php file like:
it doesnt open the index.php, but gives panel for downloading the file with the message below :/
You have chosen to open
which is a: application/x-httpd-php
from: http://localhost
What should Firefox do with this file?
Openwith - Save... etc...
any idea what is going on? :(
appreciate helps!! thanks a lot
PHP is not correctly installed on the server or Apache is not using mod_php
In the case of this happening in IIS. I would say that the mimetype is not setup correctly and that the server doesn't know how to handle the extension ".php"
It sounds like an incorrect Content-type header is being sent. This header sets the mime-type for the data the browser receives and, if the browser doesn't have a handler to render that specific mime-type, it will ask to open/save the file instead.
I would start by checking your PHP file for a header() statement and a mis-typed content-type.
