.php file extentions configuration.

On my computer I opened a file with the extention ".php" and choosed IE7 to open it. Every sence then when I open a php file with IE7 it has a dialog box poping up saying if I'd like to open or save the file on my computer from MY OWN COMPUTER?

I have Windows XP Media Center.

Is there a program on my computer where I can configure which programs I want to use for a specified file extention?

I didn't know where else to turn so I thought of the one and only DevNet!

Thanks for reading. I'd appreciate any help. And last but not least... Please. :D

try windows explorer -> tools -> folder options -> file types

Or the geek way:

Delete the registry key:

Code: Select all

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.php

Well... I have IE7 so I couldn't find "folder options" in my tools menu because microsucks changed the UI. Would it be in internet options?

Oh. Duh. Soz.


But the thing is, when I changed it to firefox as the default program it doesn't solve the problem with IE7 not being able to open it without having a dialog box poping up saying if you'd like to save or open the file and one you make your decision and the file opens the process is repeated, it's real retarded.

I think I know what will fix it. Is there a way to give a file type no default program?

EDIT: Never mind I did it. :D

do you guys know how to get IE to read php files like it reads html files?

It won't parse them like PHP would.
