Remove all php and apache rpms, backup, then delete all files in the 
/etc/httpd/ directory, do the same with /etc/php/ and finally backup 
then remove /etc/php.ini. Your system is now ready for reinstalling 
both apache and php.

Install the apache and php rpms. Create a test page in /var/www/html 
called test.php and place this line of code in it <?php print 
phpinfo(); ?> Then use your browser to view it 
http://localhost/test.php

Please provide more detail if you did not get this to work
