Default Question

Why do my .not file attachments have a .php extension when I open them.

Hi Martin,

I am not very current, still being on Windows 7 (but, up-to-date), and I only have a few music/notation apps, but I would guess you have an app that does/has appropriate/d the .not extension for its own purposes. This does not happen on my PCs.

The site, "http://file.org/extension/php" says:

What is a PHP file?

PHP is a scripting language that is often used to develop a variety of web pages and Internet applications. Files that have the .php extension can contain text, HTML tags and scripts. These files are processed by a remote server and are then returned to the user's Web browser as plain HTML....

So, perhaps you may have an app that works with files with php extensions.

Hi guys,

If you're trying to use the right-click "Save as" or "Save file" option for your browser that probably explains the php file extension. The scripts that run the forum software are php. All you need to do is left-click the attachments and the php script will run to give you the same effect as a right-click-select-what-to-do maneuver.

ttfn,
Sherry

Thanks Sherry. I thought left clicking would solve it but right or left clicking a .not attachment still produces the php. I have no other problem with .not file associations on my pc.

Hi,

For quite some time now, I am getting the .php extension instead a .not extension, on downloading a .not attachment. This is so in W7 and W10.

Thanks for that Herbert. I've tried altering one or two script settings but nothing worked. Its easy to alter a file extension... but it shouldn't be necessary!!

Hi guys,

Hmmm.... this has got to be a setting in the browser or some extension/add on somewhere because I (and many others ) only get a .php tailed filename if we try to use the right-click tell-it-what-to-do method, which saves the "script" (which does fetch the file, but names the file a script).

What browser(s) are you guys using? Do you have any extensions/addons for downloading on them? (eg. a special download manager or such?)

ttfn,
Sherry

I use Internet Explorer 11. I have reset all advanced settings to default and still cannot get .not file to open or save except as a php file . I then need to change the extension to .not by hand. Martin.

Hi guys,

This seems to be an Internet Explorer "thang" (I personally shy away from IE and prefer Mozilla's Firefox).

I went looking in the vBulletin user forum (our forum software), and according to the developers, Internet Explorer 11 has a bug where it does not correctly name a file when a php script is used to fetch the file - it ignores a header which specifies the filename and type. No idea if MS will fix it sooner or later (or at all). I tried Internet Explorer 8 on my one machine and the download worked fine - no "php" extension.

So sorry guys - nothing we can do here. And have I mentioned lately how much we love Microsoft

ttfn,
Sherry

Just rolled back from Internet Explorer 11 to Internet Explorer 10. Attachments (.not) now open correctly as .not files and not .php files. So it looks like IE 11 is the offender.
