    Problem opening pdf attachments

    Can anyone tell me why when I click on pdf attachments that people put in posts why they come up with the php extension. When the window asks if I want to open or save I can't open them with the php extension. The only way to view them is to save them, then go in and change the extension back to pfd and open. A pain in the butt just to find the attachment is of no use to me.

    Have I got a setting triggering this I'm not aware of. Don't recall it happening anywhere else.

    Try re installing acrobat reader. Sounds like your browser plugin is not working.

      Same here mate, have the same problem on all browsers and devices. Seems to be a forum php scripting error for the file attachments.

        Does this attachment download as a .php extension for everybody else, or .pdf extension like it should?




        *clink on the link and try and download the attachment.

              Come to think of it, I think it might just be when people copy file attachments url's and it doesn't redirect properly.
              Normally attachments have there ownsection in the post and there might be a set instruction when clicking on the actual attachment. Where copying the attachment url link doesn't run that instruction.
              I'll try add an attachment properly and confirm my suspicion.

                      I used to have this problem with Microsoft IE however when I started using Google Chrome to access the forum the problem disappeared. Those having the problem should try using Chrome to see if it makes a difference.

                      Cheers

                        Just updated to newest chrome and it works fine.
                        No amount of updates to windows, ie, Adobe or java fixed it for ie.
                        Used to do the same on my old Samsung galaxy as well.

                          I haven't been able to open anything with a PHP file. DOC.X SHOULD BE EASY TO OPEN BUT WHEN I TRY IT THEN ASKS IF I WANT TO OPEN/SAVE THE PHP FILE...Just tried Chrome..everything opens ok..Must be a Firefox/IE thing

                              I know it is late but it appears to be an issue with IE. In fact, a lot of things on this forum do not work properly on IE but works fine on Chrome and FF as well as my Galaxy S5 with it default browser and chrome.
