Execution of PHP file on Apache 2.2.14

    I used XAMPP to install PHP, Apache, and MySQL on my PC to do some php programming. I checked to make certain the services were all running and they are.

    Whenever I launch a .php file from 127.0.0.1/xamp/htdocs (or localhost/xamp/htdocs) with a browser (FireFox or IE) I get the Open With or Save File pop up window. If I rename the .php as an .html file, I simply get a blank page when I launch it.

    I am running Apache 2.2.14 and PHP 5.3.1 with my PC running Windows 5.1 build 2600 (Windows XP Home Edition Service Pack 3) i586.

    I inserted "AddType application/x-httpd-php .php" in the Apache httpd.conf file hoping that would make it work...it didn't.

    What am I doing wrong here?
