PHP Scripts Wont Work

[TL3]

I recently installed php following first aprelium's guide, then trustabyss's guide and still get a blank page when I try and get scripts to run.

http://timnet.no-ip.org/php/

I am using notepad to write the scripts, and as you can see I'm doing something wrong.

Please help

I should add that Im using win98 with mdac installed..

You have a double extension for your PHP file. remove the .txt at the end of
the file name and then try accessing the script again using your web browser.

Go to My Computer -> View -> Folder Options -> View (tab) and
uncheck the option "Hide file extensions for known file types."

Sincerely , TRUSTpunk

thanks for the reply

I unchecked it but the file still saves as .php.txt even if I select "all files(*.*)"

Edit: nevermind I just renamed it and it works fine

Thanks for your help!

When using notepad to save files that are not *.txt files, it is always best to use this method at the save prompt when saving files:

Save As File Name: "yourfile.php"

Using the quotes around the file name and type of you choice, forces the file to be saved with the file type you have chosen, in this case and your, a *.php file

This ensures the file won't be saved as, yourfile.php.txt
