As far as the functionality of PHP, there really is no difference in the
installs. A big advantage to installing PHP as a DSO (--with-apxs) vs.
a static module (--with-apache) is when it comes time to re-install PHP
(because you need to add a third party library to it, a new version is
out, etc.). As a static module, you would have to
re-configure/compile/install both PHP and Apache, whereas a DSO, you
only need to redo PHP.

In both cases, the solution to your problem is probably adding this to
your Apache's config file (httpd.conf), and restarting Apache...

AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
