I'm new using php, creating my first php websites. The problem I’m having is that when saving the code file form the note book I save it as test.php when I upload the file the file was saved as test.php.txt

Am i doing something wrong? What can i do to fix this?

Thanks

Sorry for the bad English.

If you're using an editor like Notepad, there's an option to choose something like "All Files" or "*.txt" -- choose "All Files."

Yes, "All Files" can work, or perhaps simply use, "Save As...", instead of, "Save."

Turn off hide file extensions for known types in your windows configuration and this problem won't happen in notepad

that is not true. regardless if file extensions are visible or not, if one goes to, File | Save, then simply types in a filename, with an extension, then i believe, unless it is a dot txt extension, notepad will take the liberty of adding dot txt to the end of the new file.

i have it so i can see all files, and it does this for me also.

Yes but if file extensions are hidden notepad has a tendancy to add .txt on the end anyway. If they are visible and you manually add your own file extension I've never seen it add .txt

i believe exceptions depend on registered extensions in one's ... registry. if i try to make, blah.doc, it allows it, without the added .txt. if i save the file as blah.dll, same. if i make it, blah.xxx it is saved as blah.xxx.txt .

so, i guess various systems will get various results.

just save it with the name in quotes: "name.php" that works regardless of what notepad wants to add.

It did work now. Thanks all for your help
