Hi!

Is there a way to open (preview or edit) local plain-html files with
.php extension with Mozilla? It always ask me what to do with such files
(save, open with external app,...)

I cannot find a way to configure the "helper applications" preference
to hande .php file internaly.

Thanks

mozilla should have nothing to do with it

the server should send .php as html

i suspect your server is not sending the right mime type for .php

The OP clearly states that he or she wishes to open up a local plaintext
/file/ with a .php extension, not that there is a problem with viewing
content supplied by some server.

Vincent, this works for me with Mozilla 1.4 On Win32 and OS X.  If I
create a bar.php file with simple text contents, it opens and displays
the contents of the file.  I am not prompted to Save or Open.

I'd assume that if there was no helper setting for php files, it should
just open up.  Perhaps someone else has a clue.

OK, the problem was not with mozilla helper settings, but with 'internet
config'. Trashing the pref file com.apple.internetconfig.plist fixed the
problem.

Thanks.
