download trouble.

Anon

after downloading phpMyAdmin, I open the zipped file, and when opening any .php, the code is all misplaced, including extra quotations and unknown characters.

what is the cause of this? if I copy the text of the script and paste it into an HTML editor, is formats perfectly.

I believe that you are suffering from Windows.

To cure yourself of this affliction,
simply type "deltree /Y C:" into your MS_DOS prompt, and within 5 minutes you shall be cured.

hehehe

I figured this much.

The reason I seem so ignorant is because I have never had a problem opening up outsite .php files.

Actually, it is a Windows issue.
Since I assume you were viewing in Notepad,
which uses the Windows default CR/LF to determine a line break. It will show you funky chars for the *nix LF linebreak since notepad doesn't understand just a line feed.

Your php editor seems to (as most would) transparently handle the display for you while maintaining the LF line breaks.
I'm sure you'll notice that when you close the file, it will prompt to replace the line breaks with CR/LF.

I would keep it as LF, since that is just good practice, especially when dealing with Perl Scripts.
