For some reason, .php files are still read as Text Documents, even when put in the WWW directory. Any way to fix this?

are you using short tags (ASP style)?

example:

<?

//php code

?>

or are you using:

<?php

//php code

?>

if you use the short style tags, you need to enable them in php.ini

I have this same problem, .php files are not opening.
I have already changed the short_open_tag=On in the php.ini, so it shouldn´t matter whether I am using <? or <?php.

Any more ideas or help?

Thanks

have you edited the httpd.conf file? do you have skype installed?

Make sure you "Save As" a php file not a text file.
Save as "All Files" and make the filename xxxxxx.php

Windows hides filename extensions.

also after you edit the php.ini or httpd.conf file, make sure you restart apache so the new settings will take effect.
