PHP is a server-parsed language. You need to add the right directives to your httpd.conf file in the global config section. They should be something *like* the following:
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php4 .php3 .phtml .php AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .phps You may also need to add them to the individual VHost. Depends on your setup (for instance, Cobalt systems are backward and require them in the VHost, not the global config). If you don't add this as a server-parsed type, it will process it as just text - like it us doing for you now.
