"empty" php file problems

[djmwjk]

I'm having a problem, we need to create a "empty" (not "blank") config.php file for a script were trying to run, and for some reason it just gets errors when we used notepad to create the file. Is there a easy utility to just make a config.php file thats "empty" (not "blank").

Thanks!,
John

By empty, do you mean a file with just

<?php?>

in it?

What errors did you get when you used notepad?

Save it as text. Go into windows explorer, if the extension isn't ".php" change it to ".php". That should work.

Empty, Blank ?? Whats the difference?

To be a scipt it must include as start & end tags <? & ?>.
Run from the explorer

http://localhost/phpinfo

and check how these tags are declared. may be this : <? ?>, or this : <?php ?> or...

create a new text file,
rename it to config.php
