MobileRead Forums - View Single Post - Downloaded .php files

I've downloaded a couple of books recently from the forum - the most recent one I tried was Hugh Walpole's "The Old Ladies" in - supposedly - epub format.

What I actually got was a .php file (called "attachment.php") and I had no idea what to do with it.

It doesn't seem Calibre will convert it to any readable format, and although Sigil seemed to open it, all that appeared was the title.

I must be doing something wrong, but I'd really appreciate an expert - or even another amateur - telling me what it is.

I did try googling .php files but what I found was a bit too technical.
