title: opening php file and i get do you want to open or save file
body: <p>Recently I configured <code>Apache 2.2</code> server to run <code>PHP</code> and have configured to load <code>PHP 5</code> as a module. I am able to start Apache  with no problems but when I try to run PHP files it pops up would you like to open or save file?</p>
  
  <p>Running on <code>Windows XP SP3</code></p>
  
  <p><code>Internet Explorer</code> browser but not related</p>
  
  <p>Simply trying to open it as a file not as my <code>index.php</code> and haven't set Apache to look for that as my <code>index</code>. If it helps I think my issue might be here:</p>
  
  <pre><code>;AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
  ;AddType application/x-httpd-php .php5
  ;AddType application/x-httpd-php .phtml
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I tried to modify in my Apache conf file <code>addtype</code> and <code>addhandler</code> but no change and apache still starts both ways.</p>
  
  <p>I tried putting these inside the mime configuration part and outside of it same both ways but not sure where in doc that should go my <code>loadmodule</code> part is also entered.</p>
  
  <p>Im not sure but the only other place i could see being an issue would be in my php.ini file to which i have made no modifications.</p>
  
  <p>Can someone point me in the right direction? What I am missing here?</p>
