Opening a file saved as .php

by Guest February 5th 2009, 2:02 pm

Anyone know how to open this type of file?

Hello Dungeon Master,

Well, I'd recommend Notepad or Wordpad. You can view and edit using both of these programs, but Wordpad is more stable. Smile

As Base said - they can be opened in either of those programs (or any other application - even microsoft word (highly unrecomended!)) :

Id suggest Notepad++ - its open source, VERY fast, and can open it properly with syntax highlighting/colouring. I've built entire websites and php applications using it, and its awesome!

Glad to have helped! For that query:

Right click on the file and click on:

Open with...

Choose Default Program...

Find the correct program and check: Always use the selected program to open this type of file

Click OK.

You'll have to set all of your file associations again.
by right clicking on a file / open with / select a program from a list and ticking the box at the bottom.
Or use system restore to go back to before the accident.
