Have you restarted apache (or whatever web server you are running) since installing php ?
/etc/init.d/apache2 restart Failing that, make sure you have the php apache module installed (libapache2-mod-php5, i believe), then restart apache. If the PHP code is what shows up in the downloaded file, then you have an issue where the web server isn't processing the php code in your index.php and may be configured incorrectly. If the HTML is what shows up in the downloaded file, then you probably have an issue with content-type headers, which may be a PHP setting, but I'm not sure. Hope that helps.
