Firebird and PHP

[vwgtiturbo]

As some of you may know, I am running a webserver on my local machine (Win based, since Slack pooed on me... oh, okay, it was my fault...). I am running Apache 2 and I installed PHP (yeah, I am going to try and learn it... for the fifth time). Anyways, I have a simple PHP script on my local server, that displays the php information for the system. When I am using Firebird, and I click on the test link on my page to view the php information, it keeps wanting to know if I want to download the file, or open it with an application. I tried to set it to open with PHP.exe, which of course didn't work. Anywho, just for grins, I decided to actually use IE to see what my results were, and with IE it works perfectly. Can someone point me in the direction I need to go to have Firebird handle these things correctly? Maybe it is Apache handling it incorrectly? Beats me...

You didn't set your file types correctly in your apache configuration.

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

but I do mine this way

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

That is the way I like it. That should fix your problem.

but I do mine this way

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

What this does (for people that don't know), is allow you to put php code in files named .html

Its basicly security through obscurity.... people can't see you are running php as easily...

Sorry... my post is misnamed... I do have firefox on here. I was running firebird before, and was confused.
As far as the file type, here is the line from my httpd.conf:

AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .PHP

I don't have html files with PHP in them yet, as I don't even know how to use PHP yet... The test file is a .php file, so it should work. I mean, I hate to give props to IE, but with IE, it does work (damn...).

[trommaster]

just out of interest, whats in the php file?

[paradox]

Yeah, since it works already in one browser check and see if a php file works with just this specifically.

<? phpinfo() ?>

Alastair, it is just a simple 'php info file', similar to what Aragorn has posted, but mine is a shade different, as it doesn't use the short PHP tags... I will try that Aragorn, and see if it will work. Thanks!

[trommaster]

that shouldn't matter.

Try this..... (yay for people that know more than you)
<alastair_> why would mozilla offer to download a .php file, but IE run it and return everything properly?
<philth> alastair_: munged content-type
<philth> telnet sever 80

So an example on my computer:
