It would normally kjust follow the link, For some reason not working now, I uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox but no joy. And archived solution said delete mimeTypes.rdf file, but I can't find it. Thanks for any help. Think I'll need to switch to chromw until I can get this working.

Normally the server would process the PHP code and send the processed file as text/html. If you would get a download prompt then this would suggest that the server isn't processing the file properly.

You can check this in the Network Monitor.
