Your server isn't realizing that when you request a php file, it
should hand it over to the php engine to parse the file. As a result,
it just tries to send you the file you requested.
I believe there are two ways that the server can figure out that it's
a php file, and needs parsing. A) from the extension, php, php3,
phtml, etc. or B) using the magic file, which tries to decide by
looking at the actual file content.
My inclination would be to turn off the magic file, and let the
extension be sufficient.
Here's a link to info about magic:

Maybe this is all old news to you.
