.PHP files download instead of get interpreted

    Hello,

    I'm building a website that covers some new ground for me.

    This website needs to "server-side include" php files. When I tell php files to be handled with server-parsed and I navigate to one of these php pages, the browser wants me to download the file. What do I need to do to use php files as php files AND be able to "include" them in other files?

    Any thoughts?

    Php is not configured properly

    Try reinstalling it once more

    Are you using Cpanel ??

    Unfortunately, the PHP install is out of my control.

    Yes, I am using Cpanel.

    At one point, the system did work. In my fiddling, I broke it. I only touched the Apache handlers.

    If you are running PHP as apache module try adding
    to httpd.conf

    if you are using php as CGI try adding
    to httpd.conf

    if you still have trouble, get professional assistance.

    If you don't have access to the php installation on the server, you're probably hosted on a shared server which would mean you can't access/modify the httpd.conf either. You can, however, add those lines to your .htaccess file.
