You have to do (at a minimum) two things:
    1) tell Apache that files ending in php are
       to be specially processed
e.g.   AddType application/x-httpd-php .php

    2) load a suitable module for that special processing
e.g.   LoadModule php5_module  modules/libphp5.so
        your module may be named:
        libapache2-mod*
        (rc  libapache2-mod 0.5.2-3 Apache2 module to run php scriptso --
         taken from your earlier post)
