Rookie PHP page problem...

Question

I am sure this is probably something pretty simple but here's my situation.

I am using Dreamweaver and MAMP and when I try to put a PHP page to the site I am working on, the page doesn't display at all... instead my computer automatically starts downloading the .PHP page itself and it ends up in my 'downloads' folder.

I am thinking its a hosting issue since I was able to upload a PHP file to another site.

So, if it is a hosting issue- what do I need to request of the hosting service to get it to allow these pages to be uploaded and displayed.

Thanks for any help you guys can give me.

It is either PHP is not running/available or web server (e.g. apache) is not configured correctly to handle PHP files.

Ask your host if PHP is available on the server, and the server software is properly setup.
