Mac OS X ships with PHP installed, but disabled in the web server. You must
enable the PHP module in the Apache configuration file.

In /etc/http/httpd.conf you will find a line like this:

  #LoadModule php4_module        libexec/httpd/libphp4.so

Remove the "#" from the start of the line to uncomment it, then restart Apache.
(You can do this by unchecking and re-checking 'Personal Web Sharing' in the
Sharing control panel, or running "sudo apachectl restart" in a terminal.)

If I'm looking at the default config file correctly, once PHP is enabled the
index.php should automatically start working. If for some reason it doesn't, you
may need to also add a line like:

  DirectoryIndex index.html index.php
