I inserted the following into the httpd.conf file for php5/apache2
<IfModule mod_php3.c>
    AddType application/x-httpd-php3 .php3
    AddType application/x-httpd-php3-source .php3s
</IfModule>
<IfModule mod_php5.c>
    AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
    AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .phps
</IfModule>
and now the server is interpreting the php code!!!!!!!
