I brought up browsers because that's exactly what happened
with me quite recently. As it turns out, both the browser
and the server are on the SAME computer, and something was
preventing me from invoking PHP files with IE. FF and Opera
worked, it turned out--and I have not had time to determine
why IE wouldn't--maybe the proxy setting or whatever.

But I've been preoccupied with programming in PHP and little
else. (I haven't even gotten the Apache server working on
the local network.) Maybe in a few weeks I'll take time to
sort it out.

I mentioned it on the off chance that the OP's circumstances
were similar.
