Re: Re: PHP Configuration issues in IIS 5.0 in win2k - EDITPAD instead of NOTEPAD

when using NOTEPAD choose "All Files" enclose the name of the file to be saved with " eg: "junk.php" and then it does not append the .txt IF YOU HAVE TO USE WINDOZE A BETTER ALTERNATIVE IS TO GET EDITPAD it does not use any registry entries, just put the executable where you want and make a shortcut to it, you can also do a file association so EDITPAD will open certain types of files for you in future. http://www.editpadclassic.com/ GET THE EDITPAD LITE and solve these types of problems, and when you are ready.... switch to LINUX MANDRAKE 8.0 and use one of the free text editors that are included Gerald Howse EDMONTON, AB Canada ******************************* On August 9, 2001 02:21 pm, you wrote: > >I can't seem to get my win2000 box to recognize the .php files.
