WampServer

installed wamp and everything, got the apache server running and mu php file in the right location. When i go to localhost/phpinfo.php it asks me what program i want use, like i had downloaded the file. Why is that?

What do you mean "php file in the right location"? Provide path and tell us what you did, then we could tell you if it's right or not.

just meant that i put it in the C:\wamp\www folder.

So your file name is phpinfo.php and in wamp/www, then in browser, you type [localhost], and it doesn't work at all? Weird, anyway try to put it in wamp/www/your_new_folder, then try like this

[localhost]

I have exactly the same problem as ZIre.

I've just downloaded and installed the latest code from wamp5.
If I try to load the index.php in the www root directory my browser (Firefox and IE) presents a screen for me to open (or save) the php file. It would seem that Apache is not running the php file but passing it through to the browser.

Similarily if I create my own simple html which call a php file on 'submit' , the browser receives the php file and tries to open it.

Any ideas on how to resolve this problem would be appreciated.

OK .. I found the problem.

In the Apache server httpd.conf, file the PHP loadmodule line is commented out. duh!

LoadModule php5_module "c:/wamp/php/php5apache2.dll"

Find the line in the file and remove the # at the beginning of the line.
Save the file and restart the Apache server
