I have the following php file:

<html>
<body>
<?php

echo "test";

?>

</body>
</html>

My httpd.conf file has the following entry:

grep php /var/apache/conf/httpd.conf
LoadModule php5_module        modules/libphp5.so

Why would the file always be downloaded and not loaded in the browser?

    You also need to set the correct content handler / MIME-type for .php files. The default Ubuntu php configuration contains:-

    <IfModule mod_php5.c>
    <FilesMatch "\.ph(p3?|tml)$">
    SetHandler application/x-httpd-php
    </FilesMatch>
    <FilesMatch "\.phps$">
    SetHandler application/x-httpd-php-source
    </FilesMatch>
    # To re-enable php in user directories comment the following lines
    # (from <IfModule ...> to </IfModule>.) Do NOT set it to On as it
    # prevents .htaccess files from disabling it.
    <IfModule mod_userdir.c>
        <Directory /home/*/public_html>
            php_admin_value engine Off
        </Directory>
    </IfModule>
</IfModule>
