mikehende Posted September 19, 2005 Posted September 19, 2005 I am working on a project and one of the instructions is for me to open a script file with the extension .php. I have no idea what or where this windows editor is, I have XP home edition, can anyone shed some light on this please? Thanks. Quote
GavinO Posted September 19, 2005 Posted September 19, 2005 PHP files are just plaintext scripts. Notepad should be able to edit them fine. The only problem you might have is if the file originated on a UNIX machine, Notepad will intentionally ignore the linebreaks. If so, just use Wordpad (after the first save on a Windows machine, the linebreaks will be saved Windows style).

mikehende Posted September 19, 2005 Author Posted September 19, 2005 I tried using both Notepad and Wordpad and all I see is something that looks like Russian writing. I think one of the problem is choosing the File type in the drop down box, I can only get the folder that contains the script to open if I select "All files" from the drop down menu, help? Quote
GavinO Posted September 20, 2005 Posted September 20, 2005 That's ... interesting. Could you attach the file? It's possible that its a compiled PHP script, but I was pretty sure they had a different extension (plus, its weird you'd be told to edit them in that case) Quote -The Gavster Three students died that year at the academy; one was executed, one was killed in a training accident, and one died of natural causes, for a knife to back will naturally kill anyone. -RA Salvatore Like to IRC?
