Re: Unable to see my .php script in IE5

Dear Johan In answer to your questions A) I have restarted Apache B) I stored it in the htdocs file within the Apache installation directory C) I was not aware that I had to change anything on the php.ini file, what should I do here I have been trying to get this to work for a few days now. I have the PHP fast and easy Web Development book, this came with the CD which had mysql, Apache and PHP4 on. I changed the httpd.conf file again in places putting extra spaces between some directives, now I am getting an error message Fatal error: Unable to open c:\program files\apache group\apache\htdocs\phpinfo.php in Unknown on line 0 I also notice that although I have saved my file as phpinfo.php it is in fact phpinfo.php.txt How do I get windows to stop putting the .txt extension on, I originally saved it as all files I am really quite new to web design and incorporating a database withing a website and I was told that PHP was my best option as I have Windows 98.
