Ye' old general discussion board. Basically, for everything that isn't covered elsewhere. Come here to shoot the breeze, shoot your mouth off, or whatever suits your fancy. This forum is not for asking programming related questions.
Lol its probably somin really stupid, since i have only just learnt the basics of php but every time i try to write a script and save it in notepad, it turns into a Microsoft Picture it Document (As shown in the ss)
I think its probably the way im saving it, so the ss shows how i normally do it, please tell me if im doing it wrong
notepad typically will assume a .txt extension, no matter what name you put in the filename field. So it'll add that if it's not there.
Getting around this issue is fairly simple.. put double quotes around the filename you use. Although I've never had it save as a picture it file, whatever that is..
I'd suggest you get a "real" code editor, such as those talked about in the General forum's thread on Editors: viewtopic.php?t=6288
Is it just me, or is the SS gone? ( I sometimes manage adblock wrong hosts =) ) Without it i can only guess whats happening here, so if my reply is way bad, sorry.
Hold shift down, right click a .php file. Choose "Open With", select a software of choise and mark the checkbox at the bottom?
Nope, that only seems to open the file with the program, not actually change the type of file it is... (If that makes sense )
But i cant seem to see this checkbox, so mayb it mite work if i could
Ive tried loads of things too, like deletin all the files i want to be php and doing them again, restorin them back to Picture It! files and then tryin to turn them into PHP and all little things like that...
