    PHP Issue...

    ok here is a great little quiz for all you PHP folks out there...I signed up with a host that said that PHP scripting was part of their package...but yet when I run a test page say...test.php

    it is basically the phpinfo() script..something small and easy...what happens is it prompts me if want to download the script or run it where it is at....now I am pretty sure what the problem is...is that they do not have Apache or PHP installed on this box of theirs...but I was wondering If you folks new of any other reasons why this might be happening...

    here is the response I got from their tech support...I just about fell out of my chair laughing...

    "When I open that page I get a file download. I'm not sure what that's
    about. Anyways, this could be happening because you are on a Win2K box
    and
    the script you are trying to use is not Win2K compliant. Check that out."

    I have already cancelled the account...it is with serioushost.com I would recommend that you avoid them at all costs...
