If you are writing your PHP scripts using Windows Notepad, you will need

to ensure that your files are saved with the <filename>.php</filename> extension.

(Notepad adds a <filename>.txt</filename> extension to files automatically unless
183

you take one of the following steps to prevent it.) When you save the file and
184

are prompted to provide a name for the file, place the filename in quotes
185

(i.e. "<filename>hello.php</filename>"). Alternatively, you can click on the
186

'Text Documents' drop-down menu in the 'Save' dialog box and change the setting
187

to "All Files". You can then enter your filename without quotes.
