Firefox doe snot like my HTACCESS

[getmea]

Hi, all...

I am attempting to add PHP to my index.html file. I first added the following lines to my htaccess file:

AddType application/x-httpd-php htm html php
AddHandler application/x-httpd-php .htm .html

Instead of posting the page, it wants to save the page (dialogue box opens). I just tested IE and same issue is occuring.

The above two lines are the only lines in my htaccess file.

Am I missing something? I found posts elsewhere but no luck in correcting it.

Thanks in advance...

The code I use to do this in htaccess is just

AddType application/x-httpd-php .htm .html

The code you put above does not have a dot before the htm html etc, maybe that makes a difference?

You have two lines there and it may be also that you only need to use one of those lines, depending on how your server runs php.

For web servers using PHP as apache module:

AddType application/x-httpd-php .html .htm

For web servers running PHP as CGI:

AddHandler application/x-httpd-php .html .htm

thanks...I'll give it a try.

Funny, the 2 lines of code was in one of my previous sites as per help from this forum 2 years ago
