Not seeing PHP output

Greetings. I am attempting to use PHP for the first time - but find that the PHP sections in and amongst HTML are not being executed when I view files through my browsers ie I see the output of HTML, but no output from PHP sections of the same files. I've been reading through several PHP texts, looking at PHP web sites, and looking through news archives to try and determine what's amiss. Your input appreciated. Details as follows... Fresh and complete SuSE 6.4 Linux install. rpm -q shows mod_php-3.0.15-46 and apache-1.3.12-7 installed. The PHP library referenced in httpd.conf exists: bombur:/usr/local/httpd # ll /usr/lib/apache/libphp* -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 1834456 Mar 11 2000 /usr/lib/apache/libphp3.so I've tried viewing various simple PHP examples from texts through either netscape-4.72-6 on Linux, or across an ethernet connection to IE 5.00.2614.3500IC under Windows 98 Second Edition version 4.10.2222A. ps -ef shows the following httpd processes running on Linux: bombur:~ # ps -ef | grep httpd root 170 1 0 18:18 ? 00:00:05 /usr/sbin/httpd -f /etc/httpd/ht tpd.conf -D MODULES -D DAV -D PERL -D PHP wwwrun 217 170 0 18:18 ? 00:00:00 /usr/sbin/fcgi- -f /etc/httpd/ht tpd.conf -D MODULES -D DAV -D PERL -D PHP wwwrun 239 170 0 18:18 ? 00:00:00 /usr/sbin/httpd -f /etc/httpd/ht tpd.conf -D MODULES -D DAV -D PERL -D PHP wwwrun 419 170 0 18:36 ? 00:00:00 /usr/sbin/httpd -f /etc/httpd/ht tpd.conf -D MODULES -D DAV -D PERL -D PHP The /etc/httpd/httpd.conf file (that file less comment lines below) shows what seem to be the proper lines within IfDefine checks for PHP. I've tried taking the PHP lines out from within the IfDefine's and then reloaded Apache. But was still unable to execute the PHP sections of my files. From httpd.conf I tried using the different extensions on the files being read (php3, phps and phtml). The error log (/var/log/httpd/error_log) showed that PHP was configured and indicated no problems. Not sure what to try next. I found this mailing list address in a copy of the PHP Developers Cookbook. Looking forward to making use of PHP. Thank you in advance.
