i helping a fren with his site
then i realise the site somehow dun seem to load php files properly
ie when i type in the IE the browser prompts me to dl the php file instead of displaying it
i believe there is an option for this
can someone tell me?
i got round the problem by putting a .htaccess file with some commands to force php files i think cannot remember the codes offhand

I think that shows that the server is running his php files does not support php or that he have not install php support on his server yet. Does it occur for everybody who visits his site or just for you only?

Hi eudora,
Please try the code provided by Alien and let us know the result. It seems more to the server is unable to support PHP to me, as I faced such problem before on a system that does not support PHP. I'm not very sure about yours.

Does he have PHP installed correctly installed on his server? This problem usually occurs when PHP is not installed on the server correctly :) Either check the php.ini file or re-install the php files...

You might also wanna check your httpd.conf for the MIME types.

Does he have root access to the server? Anyway, try using a phpinfo script to check if the php files are there in the first place.

Look under the php section and make sure all the php-related stuff are installed and working properly. Anyway, is it his own server or is it a shared/dedicated server?

http://relaklah.com/phpinfo.php

he is on shared server like me with DH
i believe it is more of a setting problem then anything else..
userguy

Yeah...I looked through the phpinfo.php file. Nothing seems to be wrong with it. It might be a problem with DH since the hacking incident. You may want to check with the other DH clients to see if they are experiencing the similar problem before getting back to us :)

Maybe both of you are on different servers? As far as I know, only a few of their servers are affected in that incident. Anyway, if it still doesn't work, keep us updated on the situation :)

In the httpd.conf, check for "ScriptAlias ", "AddType", "Action", etc.

For example, the "AddType", it should have something like "AddType application/x-httpd-php .php".

Or ask your server admin..

Since alien talked about the httpd.conf, I might as well list down what to check in the configuration file.
- AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .php4 .phtml
- Action application/x-httpd-php /php4/php.exe
- ScriptAlias /php4/ "c:/php4/"
Anyway, was the phpinfo.php file on his site or was that on your site? If you're able to load that file, there should be no big problem with the php files or did it forced it to load through .htaccess?
