I don't have any solutions but here are some comments that may be useful. I would guess that your user agent (web browser) is not detecting the mime type properly. This usually happens if the web server is not properly configured to send .php files as text/html (see http.conf if applicable). There is also a setting for this in the php.ini file but apparently the web sever/php is ignoring it. You could also register .php files as text/html in the user agent but this is certainly the WRONG way to go about fixing the problem.
