Both are in /var/www/. I tried setting up a cgi-bin/ directory but couldn't get it to work. This was just to have a quick looksee for evaluation, so I'm not too bothered about correct paths etc.

What does 'file /var/www/somefile.php' and 'file /var/www/anotherfile.php' show from a shell? -- Tony Evans blog -> http://perceptionistruth.com/ books -> http://www.bookthing.co.uk/ [ anything below this line wasn't written by me ]

Just to clarify one point: I doubt it has anything to do with Firefox. Firefox just sends a GET request for the file. When Apache receives a GET request for your PHP file, it's Apache that decides whether to send the file contents (i.e. treat like HTML) or whether to invoke the PHP interpreter on it. To make that decision, it can rely (depending on configuration) on: 1) The file name ending in ".php" 2) The file being marked executable 3) The file contents as checked against your systems "magic" data file 4) Maybe something else (my expertise is running out here) It's a silly question, but I assume you are fetching both using an http:// URL and not file:/// ... -- Anahata anahata(a)treewind.co.uk ==//== 01638 720444 http://www.treewind.co.uk ==//== http://www.myspace.com/maryanahata |
