    Same issue here. For now I'm using the built in browser in Gedit to navigate to the files instead of Nautilus on 17.10 (in 16.04 double clicking in Nautilus still opens the remote files directly). In Gedit hit F9 to toggle display of the sidebar. With it open browse your remote server just like in Gedit. Double clicking PHP files opens them as expected. Hit F9 again to hide the sidebar while you work.

This is affecting 18.04 as well. The only remotely related bug (and really old one) I have found is Files & Folders - Favorites opens FTP in browser instead of Nautilus . But this proposed solution doesn't help.

Open

/usr/share/applications/mimeinfo.cache

Find

x-scheme-handler/ftp=firefox.desktop;

change it to:

x-scheme-handler/ftp=nautilus-folder-handler.desktop;

I believe this is a bug that needs to be looked at. I have now reported this at https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nautilus/+bug/1791283

Please log in there and give any feedback in comments to get this looked at.

Open /usr/share/applications/mimeinfo.cache, eg with vim

sudo vim /usr/share/applications/mimeinfo.cache

Find the line with 

 x-scheme-handler/ftp=firefox.desktop;

and comment or delete it.
