Hi, jumping late in the thread so I may have missed some details...

In my httpd.conf (apache configuration file) I have these lines:

AddType application/x-httpd-php .php

# DirectoryIndex: sets the file that Apache will serve if a directory
# is requested.
#
DirectoryIndex index.php index.html index.html.var

Thanks for your help.

I've created the file and attempting to open in Firefox but the browser
simply asks me what I want to do with the file - save to disk or open with
another application.

I get the impression that I'm out of my depth! But still determined to
succeed!
