<title>A Note on Windows Notepad</title>

<para>
If you are writing your PHP scripts using Windows Notepad, you will need
to ensure that your files are saved with the .php extension. (Notepad adds
a .txt extension to files automatically unless you take one of the
following steps to prevent it.) When you save the file and are prompted
to provide a name for the file, place the filename in quotes
(i.e. "<filename>hello.php</filename>"). Alternately, you can click on the
'Text Documents' drop-down menu in the save dialog box and change the setting
(i.e. "<filename>hello.php</filename>"). Alternatively, you can click on the
'Text Documents' drop-down menu in the 'Save' dialog box and change the setting
to "All Files". You can then enter your filename without quotes.
