I am trying to learn PHP and gave up onIIS after continually running into PHP limitations. I installed Apache 2.0.55 on my XP Pro system. Apache seems to be working properly, html is OK. But it does not recognize PHP. When I attempt to access a .php page, I get a message box "Do you want to open or save this file". I re-checked the install instructions and don't see what I missed. Can anyone tell me what I did wrong? Thanks.

Hi
In the Apache configuration file :
Load the PHP module :
[tt]LoadModule php5_module lib/httpd/libphp5.so[/tt]
Associate the .php extension to the MIME type, to be processed be PHP :
[tt]AddType application/x-httpd-php .php[/tt]
Additionally, to be served as index if there is no file name in URL :
[tt]DirectoryIndex index.html index.php[/tt]
After editing the configuration file, restart the Apache.
If still no success, tell us with what content-type HTTP header are those files delivered by the server ?
