I always manage to get it working eventually, but never recall the exact
path to success.  When the browser prompts you to save the file, it
should say what type it is sending it as.  It is possible that it is
sending as application/x-httpd-php3, not application/x-httpd-php as you
currently have defined.  If that is the case, patch your config file as
such:

437,438c437,438
< <ifModule mod_php3.c>
< AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
---
> #<ifModule mod_php3.c>
> #AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
440c440
< </IfModule>
---
> #</IfModule>
750c750
<     #AddType application/x-httpd-php3 .php3
---
>     AddType application/x-httpd-php3 .php

Will it work with php4?  That is far less fiddly and requires no
modifications to the config files to work from my experiences, just the
LoadModule line.
