install questions

i just installed php and when i try to load a php file into the browser
through apache, the file downloads instead of being displayed.

is this an apache problem or a problem with my php install?

thanks

This is a problem with your php install (you need to make sure you edit
your httpd.conf with the information from the php install documentation).

More information > http://www.php.net/installation

You may also want to read the numerous install guides/tutorials that are
on the web -- I have written my own at the site in my signature (mine
discusses your problem and possible solutions). Lots of information out
there if you google :)

What is your platform? Not that it mattes a whole lot...

Make sure the httpd.conf file has

#LoadModule php4_module modules/libphp4.so
LoadModule php5_module modules/libphp5.so
(whichever is the one you need, probably 4)

AddType application/x-httpd-source .phps
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
