PHP problems

[gman420]

I am trying to use PHP on an Apache server which will eventually link to a mySQL database. I have been testing one step at a time. The apache server works perfectly. PHP was actually installed during the installation of RH 7.3. I cross referenced the httpd.conf file with the NHF HowTo to make sure everything is correct.

When I tried to open this page with IE 6 it tries to download text.php instead of displaying the page.

Here is the link
http://www.j-web.us/text.php

This is probably a simple fix but I could not find a solution by searching the threads, no luck with the php webpage or googling.


Thanks for the help.

Check that Apache has been setup to associate the .php file extension with mod_php.

Try saving it as test.php4 instead - sometimes they set that up as the 'default' instead.

Yup. I'm just seeing text, so PHP is not parsing the script. Douple check that .php is assciated with mod_php like mrBen said. there should be an addtype or something line followed by a mime-type then the file extensions.
