Hi Guys,

I have a contact page which has a link to a PHP contact form but when I click the link my Mac attempts to download the PHP file rather than open it! Any ideas?
 
Php is a server side language, it requires a web server for the code to run, and deliver HTML to the browser.

So the question is, we're is this pho form located? If on your local machine, how are you linking to the script ?

Do you have a web server installed on your machine to run this? Is the Php parser installed there as well?

Tell us more so that we can help you.

Hi Vacunita,

Many thanks for the info. I uploaded a .php test to the server and it appears the client's host does not support .php scripts with his current package.

Many thanks
