Check that the php module is loaded by Apache on the 'bad' machine and
that the proper handler is set. Should be a line like:
AddHandler application/x-httpd-php .php .phtml .php3

in the php5.conf file (look in mods-enabled, if you're running Apache2
- I'm hoping the setup is the same under Vista as *nix)

From: "Gary" on
Good question.

I just put the original file up and it worked as written. So that would seem
to rule out editor and browser. It is either an apache issue or php. I'm
wondering if Apache is running some older version of php. Installed with
the XAMPP instalation was php 5.2.9.

Thanks again for the help.
