Download php file as text

Possible fix for those experiencing this problem

[marknz]

Problem
- trying to view a php file on localhost (or 127.0.0.1)
- browser prompts to download php file instead of processing it normally
- happened in different browsers
- occurs even when webserver (apache) wasn't running

To find out what program is listening on http:

c:\>netstat -ab

Skype was listening on http - so killing the Skype process (and all its child processes) stopped this problem.

Not sure yet why skype is behaving like this.

Hope this helps.
