What did you expect test.php3 to do? It sends a string to the browser ("text.gif") followed by an empty variable.

Naturally the browser will have no idea what to do with this, and will consider it to be a broken image.

If you want to create an image using PHP, you will need the appropriate libraries installed, you will need to send the appropriate MIME-type header, and you will need to construct an image to send. See the manual:
