PROGRAMMING

Hi All.
Hoping this is the right section.

I have 'ImportBuddy' files on my PC and a while ago I opened an image file that was a PHP file using Irfanview - It worked but now all of my PHP files are only openable with Irfanview and the other options available don't include a PHP programme. The microsoft website suggested using 'Notepad' which I've done and now all of the PHP files on my computer have transformed to notepad files - Phew!!

Can anyone tell me if this is OK?

Will the ImportBuddy files work as before?

If not, how can I get over this problem Pleeeeease :-)

If there is no setting in import buddy that allows you to force restoring the "file associations", try reinstalling it. If that doesn't work uninstall and reinstall importbuddy.

The problem is it's not just ImportBuddy that's affected, it's all PHP files on my PC :-)

Thanks anyway :-)

Take it the easy way.If it doesn't effect you,don't bother changing the file type.If it does effect,associate it with the right program and save the changes.

  Fred,
  
  File associations are relevant as to which program opens which files.
  
  It looks like you have associated irfranview with the php extension.
  
  You need to change it back to notepad++ or whatever you were using to read the php files.
  
  Follow this tutorial here.
