When you go to the Matthew West site linked above, you get the download dialog
for all PHP script - not only does the initial PHP script not get rendered,
every PHP script (inluding those for the "News", "Journal", "Tour", ...etc.
links) results in the download dialog.

Note: I have confirmed this bug also exists in the Gecko/20050626 build, and the
official 1.0.4 build.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Visit the linked URL
2. Try the links such as "News", "Journal", "Tour"
3. Note that you always get the download dialog for the PHP scripts

Actual Results:  
Firefox tries to download the PHP scripts.


Expected Results:  
Firefox should instead be rendering the scripts.

Incorrect content/type (application/octet-stream).  Not a Firefox bug.

This wasn't patched, it was fixed on the server side.
