Does typing php -h at the command line bring up the php help? Then you've
got php installed.

I had this problem the other day and it was because apache2 doesn't use
httpd.conf for all the mods anymore. The mods were installed under
apache2/mods-available and to use them you link to them from the
apache2/mods-enabled.

I have a very basic setup, so this is what my mods-available dir looks like:

drwxr-xr-x  2 root root 200 2006-08-31 07:51 .
drwxr-xr-x  8 root root 392 2006-08-31 07:00 ..
lrwxrwxrwx  1 root root  36 2006-08-31 07:51 cgi.load ->
/etc/apache2/mods-available/cgi.load
lrwxrwxrwx  1 root root  37 2006-08-31 07:51 php4.conf ->
/etc/apache2/mods-available/php4.conf
lrwxrwxrwx  1 root root  37 2006-08-31 07:51 php4.load ->
/etc/apache2/mods-available/php4.load
lrwxrwxrwx  1 root root  40 2006-08-31 07:00 userdir.conf ->
/etc/apache2/mods-available/userdir.conf
lrwxrwxrwx  1 root root  40 2006-08-31 07:00 userdir.load ->
/etc/apache2/mods-available/userdir.load

Hope this helps.
