  * Make your site more secure
  * Block execution of PHP in a folder
  * Allow the download or display of ''.php'' files
  * Uses simple ''.htaccess'' file

Depending on the server configuration you need a ''.htaccess'' with:

<file>
# for mod_php
php_value engine off
</file>

Or:

<file>
# for CGI setups
Options -ExecCGI
</file>

Or:

<file>
# for FastCGI this depends on the name of the handler script
RemoveHandler .php
#RemoveHandler php5-fastcgi .php
</file>

And sometimes even a brute-force method:

<file>
<FilesMatch "[.]php\d?$">
   ForceType text/php
   SetHandler default-handler
</FilesMatch>
</file>

===== Troubleshooting =====

Search for PHP handlers in the web server configuration:

<file>
grep -ri handler /etc/httpd | grep php
</file>
