For those of you that are being prompted to download their php files rather than them being processes server side, double check you application mapping settings as per figure 9 above in the article. The ONLY way I have been able to successfully get IIS 5.1 to prompt to download a php file rather than process it is if the application mapping is incorrect. IIS will not let you save the mapping if the path to the php5isapi.dll is incorrect, so be sure that you have .php as the extension. If you have IIS Lockdown/URLScan installed, then you will need to add .php to the allowed extensions list.
Sorry about any spelling/grammar errors. I do my best, but unfortunately I am a product of the spell checker age and as the text editor on this site is very basic and doesn't have a spell checker there is bound to be the odd mistake that gets through. Feel free to point any mistakes out.
