    Sounds like the server is not configured for PHP. Since it's not, your browser does not know what to do with the .php file.

    Yep as ffeingol said.. ur server is not configured to understand PHP files so it ask you to download them.. like when u try to run a file where the program which runs it is not there

    Normal HTML files contains 2 parts, 1 is Header and 2 is the part you can see in your browser. And Normally PHP files only a standard text files. If your server does not compile your PHP files and does not produce Header your browser gets it as a text file and tries to download.

    Check the PHP conditions of your server. Don't forget PHP is server side language, that means every problem would be on your server.

    either the servers mime.types file is confilicting, or dosent know what php is or the more likely scenario they didnt add the .php filetype to httpd.conf

    .htaccess:
    DefaultType application/x-httpd-php
    (or)
    AddType application/x-httpd-php .php

    I have experienced this after upgrading to Internet Explorer 6.0. A few PHP links started to do this but 99 % of the PHP coding works fine.

    I have been using IE 6 too. But I have been never experienced any problem like this. Would you tell me an URL you are living that problem?
