Apache not interpreting PHP

So I have a new Gentoo server running. I emerged Apache and dev-lang/
PHP, went to emerge mod_php and portage couldn't find it. Since that
had always been the easiest way to get PHP working, I had to spend
some time researching the issue. Appearantly, Apache just needed to be
compiled with a few USE flags, and allegedly it would include PHP
support. Mine did not. So I kept looking, and ran across about 10
different "guides" none of which worked. Some seem to have been
written for older versions of Gentoo and Apache. I ran across
mod_suphp which I can't get emerged because it seems that Gentoo wants
to just ignore my changes to portage.unmask and portage.keyword. I got
to the point where the Apache_OPTS could not load -D PHP5 because it
could not find libphp5.so. I looked and could not find that.

I am running the latest versions of Gentoo, Apache, and PHP5. A simple
phpinfo() script just dumps the PHP code out in the browser, without
interpreting it. Does anyone know of a surefire, 99% accurate, works
almost every single time, method of getting Apache and PHP5 integrated
on Gentoo? What happened to mod_php anyway? (If I don't find an answer
soon, I am going to be forced to just use Xampp.)

I have both php4 and 5 running under gentoo hardened let me look to see what
I did...
here's what I used as a reference:
http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/php/php4-php5-configuration.xm l
ok here's my package.use entry for php5:
=dev-lang/php-5* cgi force-cgi-redirect crypt ssl zlib apache2 bcmath
calendar cli ctype curl filter gd ldap mysql mysqli odbc pcre postgres
session simplexml soap sockets tidy tokenizer unicode xml xsl


and here's the emerge
# time emerge '=dev-lang/php-4*' '=dev-lang/php-5*' > phpEmerge4.log
....
real 24m29.941s
user 25m58.560s
sys 9m8.550s


here's my /etc/apache2/modules.d/php4-cgi.conf

# handler for PHP 4 scripts



ScriptAlias /php4-cgi /usr/lib/php4/bin/php-cgi

Action php4-cgi /php4-cgi

AddHandler php4-cgi .php4 .php3 .php .phtml





and here's the /etc/apache2/modules.d/php5-cgi.conf

# handler for PHP 5 scripts



ScriptAlias /php5-cgi /usr/lib/php5/bin/php-cgi

Action php5-cgi /php5-cgi

AddHandler php5-cgi .php5



and in /etc/apache2/modules.d/70_mod_php.conf:



# Load the module first



LoadModule php4_module modules/libphp4.so



# Set it to handle the files



AddType application/x-httpd-php .php

AddType application/x-httpd-php .phtml

AddType application/x-httpd-php .php3

AddType application/x-httpd-php .php4

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



AddDirectoryIndex index.php index.phtml





and in /etc/apache2/modules.d/70_mod_php5.conf:



# Load the module first



LoadModule php5_module modules/libphp5.so



# Set it to handle the files



AddType application/x-httpd-php .php

AddType application/x-httpd-php .phtml

AddType application/x-httpd-php .php3

AddType application/x-httpd-php .php4

AddType application/x-httpd-php .php5

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



AddDirectoryIndex index.php index.phtml





and here's /etc/conf.d/apache2

APACHE2_OPTS="-D DEFAULT_VHOST -D SSL_DEFAULT_VHOST -D CGI -D PHP5CGI -D
PHP4 -D SSL"


and it just works like the guide said.
