I would do this in another way: create a PHP script that takes a
filename as a parameter, checks this to see if it is a file that is
allowed to be seen, and sends the contents of the file as plaintext to
the browser.

You would call it with something like
www.server.com/showsource?file=theFile.php

Of course, you can instruct apache to turn that into any other URL with
rewriting.
