Finding info inside a PHP file

[Joseph Butler]

I program using the scripting language PHP and upon
occasion need to find data within a .php file... I
noticed that the search build into Windows XP does not
search through the .php files.... how can I make Windows
XP do this?

You need to add the appropriate registry key that tells Windows to search
these as a normal text file. Doug Knox has written a small utility that
will add the appopriate registry keys. For info and a link to download
