Let's see...

Only required if you're using sessions and the default save path (I
forgot what it is - /tmp maybe?) doesn't exist.

Not required. I don't have it in my system path. But you do need to
ensure you've set the directories properly in your php.ini file.

> 3) Add index.php after DirectoryIndex
Only required if you want this to be one of the default page selections.
It's not required to make PHP work.

Well, yes, if you're using a non-standard extension (.php is the
standard), you do need to add this. It's true for any non-standard
extension.

Hmmm, I don't know why you'd have two copies of any file. Not true for
just PHP - but anything.

So far I don't see any errors in the doc. But you do need to understand
a little of what's going on. It's not "load and go"!

P.S. And please don't top post.
