 * Has anyone run into this issue?
 * When I go to wp-admin/plugin-install.php, it just shows a fragment of php code,
   namely:
 *     ```
       *  $text ) { $sep = ( end($tabs) != $text ) ? ' | ' : ''; $class = ( $action == $tab ) ? ' class="current"' : ''; $href = admin_url('plugin-install.php?tab=' . $action); echo "\t\t$text$sep
             \n"; } ?>
       ```
   
 * … though that is just what’s displayed. It seems to be display the php source.
   Note that this ONLY seems to happen for the plugin-install.php. And the permissions
   look right…

 * Try re-uploading the wp-admin folder from a **fresh** download of WordPress
