Okay, i'm using firefox as a browser now, and somehow, everytime a php script is downloaded, it asks me what to do with it. First thing is, what is a php file? i know it has something to do with making web sites and stuffs, but what is it actually? How do i make it somehow, so that my browser don't display the notice on whether to download php script or not. I remembered when i just got my pc reformatted, i think there's no problem with the firefox. Now there is. Thanks =) (Moderator edit: topic moved to more appropriate forum. jgw) This post has been edited by jgweed: Apr 15 2007, 08:51 AM -------------------- If Quizzes were Quizzicles, what are Tests ?

PHP - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
CODE (PHP:Hypertext Preprocessor) is a reflective programming language originally designed for producing dynamic web pages.[1] PHP is used mainly in server-side scripting, but can be used from a command line interface or in standalone graphical applications. Textual User Interfaces can also be created using ncurses. Do you have an add-on installed like No-Script? --------------------  Free antivirus : AVG Free Free Anti-spyware AVG Anti Spyware Free Firewall :Zone Alarm Ccleaner Ad aware & Manual SpybotS&D&Manual Free Handy programs |

But PHP scripts run on the server; it shouldn't be downloading them at all. Is this happening on a specific site or everywhere?

I think it happens randomly, I'm not very sure when the sites need a php script, but sometimes a notice just pop up, asking whether i want to download the script.
Sometimes, when i post in forums, like this, a notepad would automatically starts, having the title of the notepad, "newreply" I installed a few addons for firefox, These are the things listed in the Add-ons tab. VideoDownloader FreeDownloadManager Talkback and Download bar I have just uninstalled download bar, cause i think that's the problem. I'm not sure about it, but i think now the pop up don't show anymore. There hasn't been pop ups windows asking me to dl any php script until now, since i've uninstalled the bar. =) This post has been edited by KIDRoach: Apr 17 2007, 06:38 PM -------------------- If Quizzes were Quizzicles, what are Tests ?

Yes, some kind of download manager sounds like the likely culprit. You can start Firefox in safe mode (there should be a shortcut for this in the start menu) and see if it works fine then.
