Thanks for the detailed reply.

If the issue is really that you are seeing PHP source instead
of the server "handling" the PHP code, then most likely it is
the "AddType" directive that is wrong/missing/etc.

Here is that section of httpd.conf from a working PHP4
installation:

    <IfModule mod_php3.c>
        AddType application/x-httpd-php3 .php3 .html
        AddType application/x-httpd-php3-source .php3s
    </IfModule>
    <IfModule mod_php4.c>
        AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .html .asp .php3
        AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .phps
    </IfModule>  

    In this case, we use PHP to interpret everything as
the server is low traffic and we use PHP in docs that
are saved as *.html as well (I think we added *.asp as
a jibe at M$ ....)  At the moment I've no shell at the
PHP5 box, but I must assume it's the same there.
