Why is everything a php file?

[Ashovare]

Almost everything I downloaded i a php file, can I add these anyway with the launcher?

PHP is a programming language, to my knowledge, which is used online to help do things that general HTML simply cannot do. Frequently they're used to point you to the correct download from a large database thereof.

So no, you can't add them with the launcher. I don't even think you can double-click the PHP to download the correct file properly. You'll have to redownload all over.

That's about it. PHP is only useful on a webserver, where the content is compiled by the server and then downloaded by the user as a plain HTML document.

If you're using a download manager or accelerator (the only one that comes to mind at the moment is Getright, but there are more), that may be why you're getting PHP files instead of the wad files you're meant to be downloading. Some download sites aren't compatible with these programs and discourage their use.

Tets is right. I used Free Download Manager and it sometimes gives me php files. So Ashovare, if you are using and program that is like a download manager of any sort, you need to use the main browser instead of the program.

You don't need a download manager, get a Mac with Safari web browser.

 

[Shadow Hog]

Oh yes, instead of doing at most a five-minute download, you should shell out a thousand bucks for a new computer featuring an OS that most people don't make software for anyway. Good idea!

Please explain why you would buy a MAC when you could just use the regular browser from Windows and download it?

 

[I'll Begin]

Eh, I make a minor mistake and everyone's on my case.

 

[Ashovare]

I'm using netscape, and I choose what folder to download it into. That should work, right?

I haven't the slightest idea what you mean. :?

Failure. You don't want Internet Explorer. You want Firefox.

I use FireFox also. But what if he doesn't have it or know what it is? I was just on terms if he didn't have it and wanted to know the problem.

 

[I'll Begin]

I also use Firefox most of the time.

 

[Shuffle]

Pfft. Everybody knows what Firefox is these days, or at least most people do.

 

[Ashovare]

Yes, Firefox is the best. (Personally, I hate Internet Explorer.) But am I doing something wrong? I'm downloading the files with netscape, it should just download as a .wad file, right?
