This is my first day trying to learn PHP and ALREADY I'm stumped. I
bought the SAMS Guide toPHP. MySQL, and Apache Book. On page 18 it
tells me to create a file called phpinfo.php. HOW do I create a PGP
file ? I have Word etc but programs like this create TEXT files etc. ,
DON'T THEY? I created it anyway and did as told. Was this OK ?

The file looks like this
<?php
phpinfo();
?>
and was created in WORD saved as phpinfo.pgp

Secondly: On the same page (after creating the above and putting it
into C:/Apache/Apache2/htdocs as told) it says to point the web browser
to http://localhost/phpinfo.php and I should see the PHP information
page. All my browser does is hang up while searching for the page. What
the heck am I doing wrong ALREADY ! Geez this is HORRIBLE. Please help.

Thank you,
George
