Your web server configuration may be invalid. It is not handling the PHP file properly. Instead, it returns the PHP file to your browser as the downloaded file. You should paste your web server configuration here for further investigation.
Hi @lorenzosmc11,
It seems like the server has some code that it can’t read and doesn’t know what to do with it so it just downloads it for you. Usually, this is a problem with your .htaccess file.
This file can be found in the DocumentRoot folder of your website. Once you find it, please post the content so that I can point out what might be going on.
