Hmm. It sounds like you are somehow saving the page instead of the image. 'Right Clicking' on the image itself (on a desktop) is the surest way of getting the right options.

Beyond that, you will have to get specific about the browser/device you are using.

seems in the URL when i try to view image there is file.php which is what the browser saves it as, and I've tried using the right click the same thing happens.

Hmm, even if you select 'save image as' ?

If that's the case, I can only surmise that XP is somehow the culprit.

Maybe you could consider trying Chrome, just for kicks.

I think that when you right click and "Save Link As..." to download an image, and it takes too long to respond, then file.php comes up instead of the actual filename. I have had that happen occasionally, and all I had to do was "Cancel" and then "Save Link As..." again, and repeat the process until the correct filename popped up. I use Firefox.
I sink, therefore I WAM!!!!

My knowledge of php is imperfect but when browsers request a page that is php they do not RECEIVE a php page. When a php page is accessed, the part of it that is IN php is EXECUTED by the server but what is sent is all html (or other code meant to be executed on the client machine.) "Save link as" is to save the hyperlink, which is the name of the file on the server, not its content.

In the Firefox popup menu, "Save Link As..." saves its contents, not the name of the location. There is a "Copy Link Location" item in the popup menu, which does save the url into your copy/paste buffer.
