 * I’m running WP 1.5.2 on my Mac OSX for testing purposes. I’m using the defaut
   install of Apache with PHP 5.0.4 and MySQL 4.
 * Everything but the Plugin Manager page works just fine.
 * Here’s what’s happening: For just about every plugin i put in the plugin folder
   part of PHP source is being displayed in the “Plugin”, “Version”, “Author”, and“
   Description” columns.
 * The plugins work just fine. It’s information pulled from the plugin that doesn’t
   display correctly. The same plugins display normally on all the WP production
   sites i’ve built so it’s not the plugin files. it’s got to be a setting on my
   local machine.
 * Could it be a PHP 5 issue? Or maybe something else?
 * Thanks for the help.
