When using notepad, to save anything as an extension other then text, you need to click on the Save As option and in the file name field, type the following:

"Myfile.php"

Notice the double quotes. Notepad needs those to tell it you want to save this file as something other than txt.

Or you just save it,
and as 'File Type' (the box below filename) you select 'All Files'...
