Go to;
http://127.0.0.1/server-status
This should bring up an information page about your web server
Mine has the following key content
"Apache-AdvancedExtranetServer/2.0.44 (Mandrake Linux/11mdk) mod_perl/1.99_08
Perl/v5.8.0 mod_ssl/2.0.44 OpenSSL/0.9.7a PHP/4.3.1 Server at 127.0.0.1 Port
80."
If the string PHP/* is not present then PHP is not present or configured
wrong.
Another tip;
In your web server root directory create the following file with a '.php'
extension;
------------------------------------------------------------------
<?php
phpinfo();
?>
----------------------------------------------------------------
point your browser at this file and if PHP is installed and configured
correctly it will tell you more then you need to know.
Hope that helps
