OK, I will bite. Since PHP execution is done on the Server side (Apache, NGINX, etc.), not the Client (Firefox, SeaMonkey, etc.). How does one go about switching PHP execution off in the browser? I already checked about:config in Firefox, and see no such preference. -- WaltS Fedora 17 (64-bit) GNOME 3.4.2 Thunderbird Beta _______________________________________________ support-seamonkey mailing list [email protected] https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
