Go through the httpd.conf .. It should be located in /etc/apache or 
/etc/apache2

Make sure the following lines are there somewhere: (PHP5)

LoadModule php5_module        modules/libphp5.so

 AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .phtml

Path to modules and module may vary according to your distro.
