phpMyAdmin problem

Donald Wright · Posted: Sat Aug 14, 2004 4:23 am Post subject: phpMyAdmin problem

I have unziped and installed phpMyAdmin on my computer. I opened the "config.inc.php" file through Window Explorer to performe a simple configuration. Because the .php extensions were not associated to any software, Windows98 requested to choose a program. I descided to use Wordpad. I also remember that the box at the bottum "to associated all .php extension files to Wordpad" was also keyed. That was a big mistake and now, all files with the .php extention have been associated to Wordpad. Also, all .php extensions have disappeared!!!. When I verify the priority of the file, the MS-DOS name has the .PHP extension?!?

Those anyone knows how to change the association of .php files from Wordpad to a different one, like none?

Donald Wright, welcome to the forums.

Did you try...
Right-clicking any PHP file, choose Properties > Opens with: > Change...

Thinks for the welcoming...

With Windows98, it is not possible to change it the way mentionned.

I have been able to finally have my php page and I have explain how I did to solve the probleme. Please fin Subject ERROR 200. I have followed the tutorial on the http://os17fan.cjb.net.

Know, I only need to set it up and run it.

it's been soooo long since i've used windows 98, but there is definitely an option to "disable" the hiding of known file extensions... this will restore the .php extension when viewing a file list.

as for changing the associated extension... try googling... it's been so long i can't remember how to do it in Win98

Note you can open any file (such as php files) in notepad, by dragging the file into an open notepad window.

You should also never use WordPad to edit code... because it can insert formatting which will obviously mess up your code.

Try downloading a code editor such as Aedix (my personal favorite). If you install Aedix, it will give you the option of assocating php files with its program, which would also solve your issue.
