PHP downloading?

Expand Post »

Hey how is everybody doing today?
I am a noob in php (i actually just wrote my first php script yesterday) but I am running into a problem. I have a .php file and when I go to it on firefox it tries to either open with a program or save (it is acting like it is a downloadable file or something). IE opens the page fine though, it is a little weird because the whole time I have had problems with IE but not FF. I dont know whether this should be in browser or php so ill just post in both!

thank you for your help!!

when I go to it in firefox it tries to download the file (you know like if you click on a direct link to an .mp3 file or something it prompts you to open or save).
If I choose to open it in firefox it just opens a blank page and prompts to dl again.
BUT if I use IE it works fine. this does this on all the computers I tried it on so it is not system specific.

Re: PHP downloading?

I tested it with firefox on my linux box and it prompts for the open or save option.

How peculiar. Are you using firefox 2.0 out of interest?

Re: PHP downloading?

It's not liking something in your code. Hmm. I wonder.

Re: PHP downloading?

i could paste the code here, but I dont know if you guys would want to debug it for me. Just in case though. NOTE: I dont actually have any php in there, just javascript. I also removed the body content. It works fine if i save it as .html, but it wont preload the images unless it has a .php extension.

Re: PHP downloading?

When you send a HTTP Request to the URL, you get the HTTP Response Headers:

PHP Syntax (Toggle Plain Text)

It does not look like your server is not sending out the correct response headers. Its treats the PHP files as a download.

Is PHP even set up on the server? Have you tried other PHP scripts successfully?

Re: PHP downloading?

thank you so much for helping me paksender....

digital ether: That could quite possible be it.. I was on a windows server and I just switched it to unix but I dont know if it is completely switched right now. But the thing is it works on Internet Explorer so it is confusing.
and what do you mean set up php on the server... I am paying a hosting site and they should do that right? if IE works it should be fine though.....
