The problem is not the php file itself--if you are geting the Windows
download prompt. If the php file has errors, due to bad php code, you would
be probably live get a blank screen; you won't get the Windows prompt.

Try to get very basic working--like this

/* phpttest.php */
<?php
print phpinfo();
?>

This will output to your browser the php settings of your installation, by
calling the library function phpinfo.
