   So, I'm looking at the front page of my tutorial site (run on WordPress) and I noticed it's too crowded. So, I decide that I want to have the posts display a brief summary on the front page instead of the entire thing. I go to Settings, then under Settings, I select "Reading." The only thing I change is the option where it says "For each article in a feed, show" and I select "Summary." Then, I press "Save Changes," and strangely enough, it outputs a blank PHP file called "options.php" ready for download.

   Does anybody know what's going on, and how to fix it? Thanks. I'll provide a screenshot if needed.

   Oh, and one more thing: in Firefox, it outputs it as a download. In Internet Explorer, I get a "Page Cannot Be Displayed" error.

   Anyone?

   Also, I noticed something else.

   All of the other options pages have a form that's set to options.php; I'm guessing that's the place that receives all of the settings, and does the actual updating. It looks like this:

   <form method="post" action="options.php">

   However, on the Reading options, it has:

   <form name="form1" method="post" action="options.php">

   Could this be setting it off?
