Why Do I Get the PHP Source Code on My Screen With Apache and Localhost?

Many times, when I run a php-program on apache on my computer,
I get the source code of the program on my screen. This is happening
on both Internet Explorer and Firefox.
Thanks!

You need something like
LoadModule php5_module php5apache2.dll
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php

DirectoryIndex index.php
(and index.html and whatever you like to have)

The exact name and location of php5apache2.dll depends on
your specific installation.
