Hello,
You have to check the following entries in the file httpd.conf -

If it's Apache 1.3 (that's what I use...)
There is the section LoadModules, there should be something like:

LoadModule php5_module        libexec/libphp5.so

(PHP 4 change the 5 to 4...)

*and*
You need the following line:

AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .shtml # whatever file-extension
                                             # your php-scripts have...


For Apache 2 I think it's quite the same, but here it's maybe worth 
having a look to
http://www.php.net/manual/en/install.unix.apache2.php

HTH!
