I am not sure how, but it sounds like your browser is messing things up. Have you tried another browser?

That is interesting. Is it happening with every PHP page or just select ones?

If the request times out (either the script itself, or the browser) it can sometimes trick the browser into thinking it's a download due to not receiving enough information to be useful.

I have had a similar problem in the past. It happened to me when my computer was going so slow and firefox had way to may pages open and using upward of 30,000K of memory. For me it seemed as though Firefox just decided to throw in the towel, and give me the code to read for myself. Press Ctrl + Alt + Del and see if Firefox is using way to much memory, if so, I suggest closing and reopening, and closing as many other programs as you can.
