Are you using Apache 2?  I have read many posts in Usenet from folks
having this problem with Apache 2.  I, too, had this problem until,
after beating my head against the wall for days, just decided to switch
the order of my LoadModule directives and see what that did.  That fixed
my problem.  I use both php and mod_perl in my server and for some
reason, it wouldn't behave until I had them in a specific order.  Here
is the relevent portion of my httpd.conf file:

LoadModule php4_module modules/libphp4.so
LoadModule perl_module modules/mod_perl.so

Before, I had mod_perl loading first and I would get the same download
prompt as you when accessing php files.  Once I switched the order to
the above, it fixed the problem.

Give it a try - it can't hurt,
