sending form data with php question

hi

i am doing a small form that the action goes to mailer.php and i want it to
take the data from the form to my mail , i have the form .html and the
mailer.php on the same folder but when i am clicking submit it is asking me if
i want to open or save the mailer.php file instead to do what it should do and
send tha dat to my mail!!!!

why is that?

thanks

Perhaps, you don't have PHP installed properly on your server.

what do you mean by properly , other pages that i am using php for is working fine , should i do somthing special for mailing?

550 error is not a PHP installation error. A 550 error is aka "user nobody"
error. This happens when permissions get messed up on the server for whatever
reason. It seems that you are trying to access this file via the script and
guess what, 550 means you don't have permission to use that file.

So what you will need to do is go to your host and explain that you need
permissions reset on your account due to a 550 error. They will know what to
do and it will probably only take them 10-15 minutes to do it.

thanks

when you are saying my host do you mean my isp or my server host?

thanks again
