my theory on this one is actually that the OP used a website with a script called database.php to download something (likely a csv or excel dump of a database) and that the script returned a content-type of application/octet-stream (prompting the save as.. dialog), but didn't give a content-disposition suggesting a filename, so the OP just hit "OK" and got a file called database.php that is actually a usable data file but misnamed. Mr. Motamedi, try opening it from within Excel if that all sounds plausible to you. --Rob* -- /-------------------------------------------------------------\ | "If we couldn't laugh we would all go insane" | | --Jimmy Buffett, | | "Changes in Latitudes, Changes in Attitudes" | \-------------------------------------------------------------/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
