I've got PHP up and running on my local webserver, but I'm having a problem. Whenever I surf to a .php web page served by my box, it prompts me to save the file rather than parsing it for HTML and displaying the webpage. What's wrong? I already added AddType Application/x-httpd-php .php .html to my httpd.conf and restarted the webserver. Why would Apache be sending the .php file as a file to be saved rather than HTML? Is it sending the wrong headers? Any help would be appreciated!

  I had the same problem. My problem was that it wasn't saving the file with the php extension. It added rtf to the end. Read this article

  And follow the directions for the TextEdit and after doing the changes make sure you open a new file.
