Install Apache's PHP module. Depending on your linux distribution, you
might probably configure certain stuff. In case you use SuSE,
everything should be automatic.

Once PHP is installed, Apache hands over each PHP file to the PHP
processors, which in turn computes results. If PHP isn't installed,
Apache handles PHP files as any other file - and thus passed it along
to the browser as is.
