    Hi,

    On my computer at work I am able to preview .php files locally in my web browser.

    However when I try to do the same thing at home it won't work. I'm only able to view them in a text editor.

    Any ideas how I can fix this?

    Thanks.

    The one at work, probably has a test server set up on it.
    Look on Google for a test server download, and you'll be able to do it then.

    Download http://www.wampserver.com/en/download.php
    Follow the instructions, set it as a service to open when you click on a desktop link for it. Now load your files into your new www directory. Open wampserver and you are set to go.
