jamie - i appreciate the links, but i've already visited them and more.
i've got php running just fine... as long as a .php file is anywhere in my Sites folder (where i keep separate folders for all my client websites), and i preview it using LOCALHOST, all is well. the page gets rendered, life is good. i guess a better phrased question would be: when i drag and drop a file from the desktop to an open browser window, it shows as "file:/// Users/blinde/Desktop/index.php". i want it to go through localhost, so the php gets rendered. maybe some kind of .htaccess re-write trick? is there a way to 'trick' the browser into doing this, when 'Sites' and 'Desktop' are folders that exist at the same level in my home directory? help, mr. wizards!
