Sometimes php output downloads instead of rendering in browser

PHP
1

hi

it seems in firefox sometimes attempts to download a PHP file instead of showing it’s HTML output in the browser.
if I go along with it and download the PHP file (for example “index.php”), I see that it doesn’t actually contain the PHP source code but the HTML output of it,
the weird thing is that it happen every once in a while… e.g: the same file “index.php” sometimes works fine in the browser and sometimes firefox tries to download it.
and it can happens to any .PHP file on the site, not a particular one.

is there something that can be done in the PHP code to prevent this ?

what you can do in PHP is set the correct headers. although that doesn’t help if the webserver changes them after PHP is done.
