Can't configure php script to run

I’m trying to set up a local server to develop a php website, and can’t seem to get php script to run.

I’m using Apache software for the server, and I think it’s set up right…I can get the localhost test page to load on my browser.

The problem is with trying to run php script. Every time I try to use the link that starts the php script, it asks me if I want to open or save the file. I’ve even tried to cut/paste a basic hello world script and can’t get the browser to run it.

Can anyone help me configure my setup? I’m really at a loss because I’m not sure which program needs to be reconfigured. Please send some suggestions, or ask me to print out or test something, I’d much appreciate it.

Thanks.

Jeff

Im guessing there is something wrong with your setup.
I use xammp for my localhost server and haven’t had any issues with it. Its bundled which makes life easy.
