[Chugalug] LAMP problem

[Garrett Gaston]

It's all being done from localhost. everything is stored on my desktop at /var/www/ 

As to apt-cache search apache2 | grep php, this is what I got.

garrett at mint-desktop ~ $ apt-cache search apache2 | grep php

libapache2-mod-php5 - server-side, HTML-embedded scripting language (Apache 2 module)
php5-cgi - server-side, HTML-embedded scripting language (CGI binary)
libapache2-mod-php5filter - server-side, HTML-embedded scripting language (apache 2 filter module)
libapache2-mod-suphp - Apache2 module to run php scripts with the owner permissions
php5-fpm - server-side, HTML-embedded scripting language (FPM-CGI binary)

what's the URL to the html file? is it possible it's using a hostname other than "localhost" and that is causing different behavior between the two examples?

I'M trying to learn a little php but my learning as been halted by some strange behavior when executing my html/php files. Within my html documents I am attaching them to php files via: 

<form action="somefile.php" method="post">



When the html file executes the form, the browser downloads the somefile.php file as if I were a picture or song I was downloading from a website rather than executing and displaying the php page in the browser. Executing phpinfo() from the browser via 'localhost/phptest.php' is working just fine. This problem is only occurring when a php script is called to be executed from an html file within the browser. Also note that I have tried this in two browsers with the same result.



I've removed php5 and apache2 and re-installed both of them and I'M still getting the same result.

Here's the info from /var/log/apache2/error.log

[Thu Feb 28 12:45:35 2013] [notice] Apache/2.2.22 (Ubuntu) PHP/5.3.10-1ubuntu3.5 with Suhosin-Patch configured -- resuming normal operations



Any ideas. I've hit a brick wall here and I can't continue my php book until I get this resolved.
