WebBrowser Read Viewer code and not Source Code

Question

I have this code on php document

<?php echo '<script type="text/javascript">
        document.write( geoip_city() );
      </script>' ?>

after open in browser it returns your city name but on

WebClient client = new WebClient();

            string client2 = client.DownloadString("http://www.mywebsite/ip2.php");

            MessageBox.Show(client2);

it returns the source code. Why does this happen?

I am using this script for geolocation.

Perhaps your server is not setup to parse PHP? Try creating a single script that looks like this: "<? phpinfo(); ?>" and open it on your browser. If it shows a long list of information about your PHP setup, then this isn't the issue. If it just shows "<? phpinfo(); ?>" in the browser, then your web server isn't interpreting, and it'd be a web server configuration issue. — Nick Coons

You need to download the file from the live server. If it is hosted on the same computer, you need to use client.DownloadString("127.0.0.1/mydocument/ip2.php"); Make sure you have PHP setup properly too. — Dave Chen

It sounds like you do not have PHP set up correctly on the server.

When you go to the page ( http://www.mywebsite/ip2.php ) does the source code show up there as well? What server software are you running?
