Note that when the PHP package is installed, it says:

To process PHP scripts, you will need a PHP-enabled HTTP server.  You may
either configure the HTTP server to use PHP as a CGI program, or install a
PHP module for your HTTP server, e.g. ap-php4.

Some additional packages you may wish to install are:

        php4-dba        DBM databases access
        php4-pcre       Perl-compatible regular expressions
        php4-posix      PHP4 extension for POSIX-like functions
        php4-session    session ID support
        php4-xml        expat XML parser
