can anybody help me with this question i found a site that does step by step insturctions on how to make a basic signup and login for your site and it gives the html codes and php codes but it askes to create a blank file and then enter the php code and save it as .php how do i do this cause i went to notpad and saved it .php but it saves it thenameichose.php.txt but i downloaded some php files and they are files that windows can read casue it shows a blank page with shapes on the page as the file picture meaning that i has no program that can you can use yo open it and to read it, so how do i save the php frile so it is really a php file and not just text cause i have every thing else right but when i try the signup page and fill it out and click submit it will go to a page that says cannot be displayed and thats because i save the php file in the wrong program so does anyone know how i save it right or if i need a certian program to save it right what program do i need.
thanks spencer
