What this sounds like to me is that as well as having a PHP binary, that
PHP is installed as a module in your web server.
For whatever reason ( more than likely, the file extension ) the web server
is NOT executing it as a CGI itself, but passing it to the PHP module to
deal with. That is just treating the #! line as text and passing it
out to the browser.
You need to figure out what is going on and pick one way to do it.
