I have tried opening a file from a web page that downloads as a .php. When I open it, it comes up as jibberish (to me), not as a pdf. If I use Safari, it comes up as a pdf in the proper format. Thanks in advance.

You can rename the file in Finder and add a .pdf file extension if it currently has a .php file extension.

Best is always to check the file name when you download and save a file to make sure that the file has the correct file extension to prevent such issues.

It automatically saves the file to the downloads folder

If this happens a lot then you can consider to disable automatic saving in the download settings in Options/Preferences > General (Always ask me where to save files).
