i am trying to write my website so that a user enters details in a html form on one page and posts it to another page which is written in php, when i try to test this i can enter the details but when i click the submit button it asks me to download or open the php file, and it wont open the page to show the forms data from the html page. Is this just because i dont have php installed correctly on my pc or is it likly to be a code error, here is the codehtml form page
