Curl request returns contents of php file instead of executing it

Question

From a website I'm developing, I'm sending a Curl request to a php file (on the same server) that should process the request and return a response. The response I get is the contents of the php file that is supposed to process the request.

It's all run on Ubuntu 13.10 server.

Nothing to do with curl. Your Apache is misconfigured and not executing PHP. — Marc B, Feb 20 '14 at 17:55

This problem is not related with your curl. Rather its related with your php configuration. I am suspecting this problem is related to php short tag.

For example your server might have the php code started with <? instead of <?php. If this is true, then you have to enable the short_open_tag=On from your php.ini file. Here is more detail about How to enable PHP short tags.
