ok, if its correct behavior, how do i get around this. We have purposely created an internal mysql database and have built a website for security purposes. We want to share the index page to a couple of other users within the small business. Again, one computer has php, apache and mysql installed. the entire website was created on a local machine and is functioning properly. When I map to that folder from another machine and try to load the page, then I get zero data. I was thinking that I may have needed either apache or php installed on that second computer but I didnt see the code display on the webpage.
