Well, PHP is not HTML. ;-)

When the PHP script is run, it spits out HTML. That's what a web server does: It runs he script, and whatever the script prints out is sent to the browser that is accessing the page. From what you say, it seems that Opera has some built-in magic to execute the PHP program and then display the results. I don't think I would really like that, personally, as not every PHP script actually produces HTML – it's a programming language that can do pretty much everything else, too, so it doesn't seem so clever to me to execute the script instead of just displaying the source. True, PHP isn't widely used for anything but HTML, but I still don't like the idea very much.

Best regards,
