288833 - firefox 1.0.2 tries to save php files instead of running them

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[omriamos]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.6) Gecko/20050317 Firefox/1.0.2
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.6) Gecko/20050317 Firefox/1.0.2

When using firefox (maybe only 1.0.2, not sure), the browser trys to download
(save as dialog) php files, instead of displaying them as it should be.
This is 100% not a problem on the server, as it only began a few days ago, and
there was nothing changed on the server. Moreover, it never happends with other
browsers.

When using some FLASH-banners, it happend almost EVERYTIME. After removing the
flash-banner that seems to be problematic, it only happends once in a while.


You can see a screenshoot here:
http://www.hwzone.co.il/community/index.php?action=dlattach;topic=114305.0;id=49725;image


p.s.
if saving the file, the browser saves the PHP-SOURCE file, with all the php code
in it.

Reproducible: Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
1. just accessing php files. it's randomize, i think..
Actual Results:  
The "save as" dialog apears, and it will show it forever for THE EXACT URL until
you clear the browser cache (and then, after some time, it will probbly happend
again).


Expected Results:  
well... show the php file..

Works fine here; Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8b2) Gecko/20050402 . 

As the "save as" dialog says, the server is sending the file with
application/x-httpd-php MIME type, not text/html as it should. 

Also, since you say you are actually seing the php source code, I'd be quite
worried if I was the admin of the site...

Also WFM. Doesn't PHP have an option to cause to happen what you have described?

That makes it a server bug.
The server MUST execzte the PHP and send the script output as text/html to the
browser.
