Description:
------------
When running a script that is external (including it into another PHP file) opening that file will result in that external PHP being rendered as HTML text on the screen.

Test script:
---------------
(This is not a test script. It is an attempt to make a MediaWiki extension.)

$wgExtensionCredits['validextensionclass'][] = array(
       'path' => __FILE__,
       'name' => 'Vote Pages', 
       'url' => 'https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:VotePage', 
       'description' => 'Allows unregistered and registered users to vote pages',
       'version'  => 1.0,
);

$rate = '<iframe frameborder="0" src="rate.html" height="91">'

return $rate;

Expected result:
----------------
The external PHP script should have ran.

Actual result:
--------------
It displays the code and any HTML that has been used in the external PHP file will be displayed instead.

Thank you for this bug report. To properly diagnose the problem, we
need a short but complete example script to be able to reproduce
this bug ourselves. 

A proper reproducing script starts with <?php and ends with ?>,
is max. 10-20 lines long and does not require any external 
resources such as databases, etc. If the script requires a 
database to demonstrate the issue, please make sure it creates 
all necessary tables, stored procedures etc.

Please avoid embedding huge scripts into the report.

We actually need a self contained, small reproducable test script, not an unrelated piece of code. :)

That said, this sounds very, very unlikely to be a PHP bug based on the description.

Oops! I forgot to add <?php at the beginning and ?> at the end. Sorry, not a bug.
