Thanks for your help - that was the part that apparently was missing.

However, the message that is shown after PHP has been installed is a
little bit misleading:

In order to use this module in your Apache 1.x installation, you need to
add the following to your httpd.conf file:

  LoadModule php4_module lib/httpd/mod_php5.so
  AddType application/x-httpd-php .php

You may also add following if you still use .php3 files:

  AddType application/x-httpd-php .php3

For Apache 2.x installation, you need following:

  LoadModule php4_module lib/httpd/mod_php5.so
  AddHandler application/x-httpd-php .php

You may also add following if you still use .php3 files:

  AddHandler application/x-httpd-php .php3

"php4_module" has to be replaced by "php5_module", otherwise you get
an error (something like "undefined symbol" in
"lib/httpd/mod_php5.so"). With "php5_module" it works (at least I now
get the phpinfo screen).

I also need mysql. How long did the "make/make install" routine of
mysql take?
