PHP and gophernicus

I  use  a couple  of  php  backends in  my  gopher  hole, and  they
work  as  expected.  To  do  this  I  added  php  as  a  filter  in
/usr/lib/gophernicus/filters. However I discovered that in order to
also make  php files available  for download,  I needed to  add the
.txt  extension,  or gophernicus  would  attempt  to run  the  file
instead of displaying it. I suppose I shouldn't use php as a filter
and instead use it as a cgi script, but that could also introduce a 
security risk. So instead I've opened an anonymous ftp server:

ftp://anonymous@spike.nagatha.fr/

While I was on this, I  found that  php  isn't  in   my  mime.types
either. Searching  around, I  found this interesting  article which
explains all about it:
