php file is downloading instead of running in WAMP

[micksitup]

hi all,

Im currently using WAMP as my local host server.

i have created 3 files.

an html file (index)

a php processing file (to check the forms entries before submitting it)

a php apply to database file


the problem im having is that when i click submit on the html file, it just wants to download the php file, rather than running it. I have had the code tested and works fine on another machine

There can be two cause of your problem either you have saved your php page outside of wamp directory or may be PHP is not installed in your mechine.
Create a file with phpinfo(), run it and see the configuration of your PHP.

i have done that and it does the same thing.

does wamp not include php?

i have now scrapped wamp and instead loaded and configured apache.

the test you gave me works fine, yet when i attempt to run any script it still just wants to open it in dreamweaver

Did you configure your webserver software properly?

Make sure you have this line somewhere in (if you use Apache) httpd.conf:

AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
