It could work.

It could work.

I believe Sam received a bad download. You cannot open a PHP file with any word processor or acrobat. PHP is an extension of PEAR (PEAR is short for PHP Extension and Application Repository) a programming language based on “C”

It’s used for many applications, among them, Dynamic Libraries, Internet Software Delivery, Scripting, a system for code distribution and package maintenance and other applications too numerous to mention here.

Although I am not familiar with MTU programming, depending on the application, changing the PHP extension to EXE could work although most often than not, it doesn’t in those cases the original code most be amended and recompiled into an EXE file.

My recommendation to Sam is to try (in this order) 1. Danny_G’s suggestion, 2. To download the file again and 3. To contact MTU if he receives the same file.

In my opinion, Sam should not have a visible PHP extension, the extension should be .EXE.

Good luck,

Jon
