I have an odd problem with IE11 that manifested itself recently. I have been coding a new website that uses php pages. The files are stored locally yet in IE11 once the files is opened in does not display and a download prompt appears. I don't have any problems with previewing the files website in firefox. I messed around with security settings and a few other things but no change occurred. Does anyone know a work around to get these pages to display?

set up a webserver? as a guess you are probably experiencing a security feature designed to prevent executing malicious code through the browser, and to do that they may be copying files to a protected memory space

My thoughts exactly, IE11 doesn't include a PHP engine and likely never will, there's no point to it.

The *only* way for php to work is with a web server.

Thanks for the responses. I hosted the site tonight and and there isn't any problems with IE11. I forgot that I was using IE10 in the last update for this website. This is a bit of a hassle but at least I can test it on mobile devices.

Thanks for the help!
