Anyone got ANY clue as to why this is happening? It is not an error. The server just returns the script contents in plain text, so it is not executed as a PHP script. You need to configure your server to either process this script as a PHP script (it could be as simple as rename its extension to .php) or configure it to process all files with extension .psvg as PHP scripts.
