Create PHP file in Notepad

Creating a PHP file in Notepad is a simple process. Here are the steps you can follow:

1. Open Notepad:

   • Press Win + R to open the Run dialog.
   • Type notepad and press Enter.

2. Write PHP Code:

   • In Notepad, write your PHP code. For example:

3. Save the File:

   • Go to File > Save As.
   • Choose the location where you want to save your PHP file.
   • In the "Save as type" dropdown, select "All Files (.)".
   • Enter a file name with the .php extension, for example, hello.php.

4. Save Encoding:

   • It's recommended to save your PHP files with UTF-8 encoding. In the Save As dialog, you may find an "Encoding" dropdown. Choose UTF-8.
