Not sure you may also be missing the additions to the load and add modules 
sections.

This setup was specifically to run SquirrelMail. I had a working test install 
and I wanted to add SSL. My first shot was to just reinstall apache-modssl. This 
required recompiling a single php module. I never got that done so I removed 
apache, php and squirrel mail and installed (order is important):

     apache-modssl
     squirrelmail

and let the build for squirrelmail pull in php. In this order I got all the 
necessary mods to httpd.conf and the php module I needed was rebuilt. If you are 
facile with make all this can be skipped but I found it quicker to do it this 
way.


Here are the php relate directive in my httpd.conf:

     :
LoadModule php5_module        libexec/apache/libphp5.so
     :
AddModule mod_php5.c
     :
     <IfModule mod_php3.c>
         <IfModule mod_php5.c>
             DirectoryIndex index.php index.php3 index.html
         </IfModule>
         <IfModule !mod_php5.c>
             DirectoryIndex index.php3 index.html
         </IfModule>
     </IfModule>
     <IfModule !mod_php3.c>
         <IfModule mod_php5.c>
             DirectoryIndex index.php index.html
         </IfModule>
         <IfModule !mod_php5.c>
             DirectoryIndex index.html
         </IfModule>
     </IfModule>
</IfModule>
     :
     <IfModule mod_php5.c>
         AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
         AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .phps
     </IfModule>
     :
#SSLOptions +FakeBasicAuth +ExportCertData +CompatEnvVars +StrictRequire
<Files ~ "\.(cgi|shtml|phtml|php3?)$">
     SSLOptions +StdEnvVars
</Files>

This last one only if you have SSL (of course).
