Sourceforge Gallery2 and PHP

[Soo-Hyun Choi]

Brilliant!

I solved the problem finally. The problem was that I was trying to
open the php file with firefox by doing 'file->open file" something
like that, which was nothing related to Apache. I tried to open the
php file by putting the php file under web directory, it worked to me.

This was just my silly mistake. ;-)

Thanks to all who corresponded to this thread.

What sort of
