    bogus html?
    it really helps when you clearly tell us what the error message is.

    if you want to open a .php file as text then you choose files of all
    types, select the file, then switch the type to Text documents.
    otherwise abiword tries to figure out what the file type is and in the
    case of php it thinks it is a malformed html file.
