Read the install file that comes with PHP.  Very briefly:

Edit /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf and add;

LoadModule php3_module           /usr/lib/apache/libphp3.so
AddModule mod_php3.c

and srm.conf;

AddType application/x-httpd-php3 .php3 .php
AddType application/x-httpd-php3-source .phps

If you have installed PHP4, then just replace all the 3's with 4's. 
Make sure the LoadModule line is pointing to the correct file on your 
system.  You will have to restart Apache for the changes to take 
effect:

/etc/rc.d/init.d/httpd.init restart
