Wow.

Either your ISP has reached a new level of laziness, or I'm missing
something.

There may be better ways, but I'm sure you could use ForceType in a
.htaccess file:

ForceType application/x-httpd-php

(You may be able to just use AddType, but I'm just not sure if that can be
specified at a directory level.)

You'll probably want to limit this to specific files rather than an entire
directory, so you'll want to create a section in your file using
Directory, Files, or something like that. See here for a better
description of these things:

Hope that helps.
