Couple of possibilities - the file must have the extension .php to be recognised by apache as php-parseable, and you must have the correct lines in your httpd.conf file for apache for recognising php files and passing them to php itself (althogouh I can't check for you right now exactly what they should be - if you installed from ports they should be there already, if you installed manually then you may need to add them - I'd imagine www.php.net will have info on what it is you need to add).
