Magikx21 Posted January 8, 2007 Report Share Posted January 8, 2007 I recently installed Mandriva 2007 onto one of my computers. It works fine except when I am using Firefox and goto a .php page it either tries to download the file or it closes Firefox. Can someone tell me what's worng and give me an idea of how to fix it. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neddie Posted January 8, 2007 Report Share Posted January 8, 2007 If your browser is trying to download the file instead of just display it as html, it's almost certainly a web server problem - the web server is either delivering the raw php (which it shouldn't, it should process it into html), or it's configured wrong so it's reporting the wrong file type. Are you running the web server too, is it your php that you're trying to run? Or is it someone else's php server somewhere on the internet? Note that if you're just trying to "open file" in the browser and select the php file from your file system, then that's the wrong way to go about it. You need a web server.

javaguy Posted January 8, 2007 Report Share Posted January 8, 2007 Does this happen on any php page, or just one site in particular? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magikx21 Posted January 9, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 9, 2007 On one page Firefox completely closed. I hit the link and a second later the window was gone. I tried this a few times. Then on another site it brought up the open with/save as window. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magikx21 Posted January 12, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 12, 2007 Okay, I got past the page that kept closing FIrefox, but then the next page closed the program. I then used Konqueror and had no problems with the site. I guess the site is just not cooperating with Firefox. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyme Posted January 12, 2007 Report Share Posted January 12, 2007 Does the site have any flash, java, or other such items on it? That is, things that are more than your basic XHTML (PHP included in that, because PHP is server side so the client shouldn't even see it).
