Greetings Dave,
The reason this occurs is because Apache has NO idea what a .php file is
unless you tell it about it. As a "professional webdesigner" you should
know this ;-)
OK, here's what you do. Add the following lines to your httpd.conf file.
Please note that there are *already* some references to these lines in it.
So you would best search for them and add from here what is missing:
#
# DirectoryIndex: Name of the file or files to use as a pre-written HTML
# directory index. Separate multiple entries with spaces.
#
<IfModule mod_dir.c>
DirectoryIndex index.html index.htm index.php default.html default.htm
</IfModule>
#
# AddType allows you to tweak mime.types without actually editing it, or to
# make certain files to be certain types.
#
# For example, the PHP 3.x module (not part of the Apache distribution - see
# http://www.php.net) will typically use:
#
AddType application/x-httpd-php3 .php3
AddType application/x-httpd-php3-source .phps
#
# And for PHP 4.x, use:
#
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php4
AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .phps
The above blocks are in two different sections (if you search, as I mentioned
earlier. you would recognise that). :-)
