Sounds like you're almost there. Let me see what I have in my apache2  
httpd.conf, which is working fine with php5.


Near the other LoadModule directives at the top, you'll need this:

LoadModule php5_module modules/libphp5.so


You'll want to make sure your DirectoryIndex directive looks  
something like this:

<IfModule dir_module>
     DirectoryIndex index.php index.html
</IfModule>


And of course what you already put in the IfModule section:

AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .phps


Those are the only applicable occurrences of "php" in my httpd.conf  
so hopefully that would do it for you too.
