Hi Robert -

Mime types are configured for static content, so the Web server can alert the client (browser) in the header of the response what type of data to expect and render. Mime types *are not* used for dynamic content, so you should never configure the Web server mime types to serve PHP, or IIS is likely to serve out your source code as plain text.

To configure PHP on IIS7, see this article: learn.iis.net/.../using-fastcgi-to-host-php-applications-on-iis7

To configure PHP on IIS6, see this article: learn.iis.net/.../using-fastcgi-to-host-php-applications-on-iis-60
