    hello thanks for your reply, I am using XAMPP on my local machine, it runs '•Apache 2.2.14 (IPv6 enabled) + OpenSSL 0.9.8l' (from the xampp website). I have tried configuring C/xampp/apache/conf/httpd.conf file and it normally just breaks XAMPP which leads to data lose a load of stress and about half a days re-doing things, getting back-ups etc. Heres what i'm thinking....

  • im doing it wrong
  • im editing the wrong fie
  • the file is in the wrong location
  • some other reason (do tell)!

    • please help me, I cant change the software package I am using as its really too far into the project. I need the browser to know what to do when a html button is clicked calling a script that is run the script not go oh lets open it or try and download it!

    any help would be apprechiated. Bogglemaster89
