php4 and apache on SuSE Linux

I am trying to run a simple php4 script on my SuSE Linux 7.2 (Update) system, but I am not getting the correct output. Instead of the browser (Netscape or Konqueror) showing a normal web page, it shows the raw commands from the php script portion of the html file. Here is the script I am using: <html> <head> <title>PHP Test Example</title> </head> <body> <?php echo <hr>; echo date("H:i, jS F"); echo <p>; echo Hi, I am a PHP script!<p>; echo <hr>; ?> </body> </html> When I open this file with konqueror or Netscape, the browser window carries the title "PHP Test Example", but the output within the browser window looks like this: ; echo date("H:i, jS F"); echo ; echo Hi, I am a PHP script! ; echo -------------------------<a horizontal rule>___________________ ; ?> Furthermore, if I run a simple script from the command line, something like this ("trythis.php"): #!/usr/bin/php echo "Hey, I am working fine."; this is the output I get: tschulze:~/web_dev/schulze> ./trythis.php X-Powered-By: PHP/4.0.4pl1 Content-type: text/html echo "Hey, I am working fine."; tschulze:~/web_dev/schulze> Any idea what I need to do to get this working right?
