hie…I have installed Apache server 1.3.24 and PHP 4 on my computer. Whenever I tried viewing my Php files in the localhost(by typing [http://localhost/myfile.php](http://localhost/myfile.php)), it is asking me to either open or save the PHP file from localhost. How can I view my PHP files in my localhost without getting such options? Please help…I would greatly appreciate.:trout:
