Sourceforge Gallery2 and PHP

[Ralfe Poisson]

Soo-Hyun,

I just want to explain that your problem has nothing to do with FireFox. 
The problem is with Apache. PHP files are parsed through the PHP 
preprocessor when your browser makes a query from the web server. If you 
were to try and load the files directly into firefox, you would either 
get the source code, or firefox would try and download the php files. 
Thus, you must make sure that you are accessing them through the Apache 
server, and that the httpd.conf file is setup correctly to forward *.php 
files to the php preprocessor.

Hope that makes it a bit clearer.

Regards,
Ralfe
