No, that won't help. Forms that use action="mailto:..." are unreliable. Submitting to a server-side (e.g., PHP, CGI) program is the right thing to do.

To the original poster:

What happens when you try to submit the form? Do you get any error messages?

No, the browser is asking for the file download of the php script.

That sounds like your server isn't configured to use PHP. Since it doesn't know what *.php files are, it just sends them to the browser as downloadable files.

Does your server support PHP? Is your account configured to use PHP?

There's no point configuring Dreamweaver to use a PHP server if you don't have a PHP server.

Are you trying to run PHP programs without a server? That won't work. Server-side programs require a server.
