 * I have Microsoft WordPad and EditPad Lite, neither will let me save the necessary
   document as a .php file. How to I do this? thank you!

 * Just use the *.* option, any I think they call it and manually type the .php 
   at the end of the filename, you might also want to look at [jEdit](http://jedit.org)
   as an alternative editor.

 * Save as a text file. Name the file as example.php etc.

 * I use EditPad Lite exclusively and it will let you save with a php extension,
   just type the name you want to save it as and include the extension. Better yet,
   set the extension in the preferences.
