I've got the files in the right location --Library/WebServer/Documents/...

they're coded correctly (I do this for a living), they're just plain ole HTML files, nothing dynamic, no javascript, just html and css...

I load them to the remote server and they work fine but when I go to view them locally I can only see the source code...

What gives...?

Are PHP files, I'm viewing them in FF 3.0.11

The file name is index.php

Here's the path to the parent folder:

http://localhost/knowink/mao/

This should show me the index.php page, I get a directory listing instead.

http://localhost/knowink/mao/index.php

This is the path to the index page, it should definately show me the index page...I get the source code instead. This is a direct copy and paste from my browser window, not from the source code listing - if you had clicked Command-U in FF.

I'm hoping not to come off arrogant here but I do this for a living, I build Mac apps and web based apps for a publishing company, in PHP using MySQL for a back end, heavy on AJAX and CSS, just started tinkering with HTML 5 (the geolocation stuff). I'm also pretty confident that this is probably user error (me

By default php is not enabled in webserver.

You initially said plain ole HTML files and now PHP..which is anything but plain ole HTML..

Either way, as @wheelguy said, PHP support is available in Apache, but isn't enabled..so follow this guide and enable it.

You can also configure Apache to render *.PHP files as *.HTML, but I think enabling PHP would be the best solution.

in httpd.conf
AddType text/html .php

Once you have PHP installed it should read like this.

AddType application/x-httpd-php .php

Again, I would just enable PHP, but this is technical possible.
