Topic: 'Save as' messages appearing on punbb.org forum..

I noticed some strange behaviour on this forum today, I'm having the possability to save the php files to my pc (and see the php code)

Screens to show what's happening:

clicking on 'Index'
http://burningfire.eu/im/public/punbb_saveas2.jpg
'Save as' screen

It's probably a server bug, but still..

Moved to PunBB Discussion
Odd, I'm not getting that: what browser are you using?

Oh, and is the file it gives you actually the PHP or is it the HTML? wink

I got the PHP code, also from the config.php file...
I think that really is a server security problem.

I had the same issue, in IE6 and FF 1.5

I could download the whole raw PHP page code. Nice! smile

I think someone was playing around with the MIME types configuration in the server that PunBB is hosted on [TextDrive?], thus prompting the browsers to get confused about how they should handle PHP.

It seems fixed now though.

Very strange. I'll have to ask the host about this. I've added an .htaccess file to prevent disclosure of config.php, should the problem ever occur again.

I've changed all the passwords.

I'm using FF 2.0 on WinXP (with vista style)

And yes, I'm getting the actual php code
