Is the PHP module enabled in the apache2.conf/httpd.conf?
Has Apache been restarted since PHP was installed?

I suspect that the module is not enabled, which is why you are getting the download option. Apache doesn't know how to handle it, so presents it for download. Apache must be restarted before the PHP module will work after it has been installed.
