thanks in advance

Code:

Hi and welcome to LQ

You need to install also php5-cli package.

thank @bathory, it worked.

i've got another problem now.

when i use php command it works fine however when i try to execute php on a web browser i get download dialog. i assume that i get a download dialog 'cause php script is not executing.

can some one tell what i may be doing wrong.

I think it's a browser cache problem, as you have the php module installed (libapache2-mod-php5). Close your browser, or clear the cache and try again.

Cheers
