Damn hamsters.

Lemme try this again:

I’m running Me. Point and laugh if you want to.

I’ve got a bunch of utility php scripts that I’ve written for things like stripping tags and updating to xhtml for html docs that people send me.

I’d like to be able to set my file associations so that when I double click on one of the files in in Apache’s /htdocs folder, Windows will both start Apache and Mysql and open the script in Opera as [http://localhost/utilities/whatever.php](http://localhost/utilities/whatever.php) (rather than browsing it as a file.) Is there any easy way to do it?

Thanks.
