You have some answers over there now - apache isn't configured correctly or php isn't installed. If you can't get it figured out, use XAMPP http://www.apachefriends.org/en/xampp.html. It'll do everything for you

thanks for the reply. i read the answers but unfortunately none have proven helpful thus far. i installed everything through mamp and after rereading multiple tutorials nothing indicated that there was an additional step necessary to configure php when using mamp. did i miss something? thanks again.

You need to make sure everything is processed in the correct order.

For example, I just used vanilla apache/php from osx 10.6.4:

    $ cat /etc/apache2/httpd.conf
    ...
    LoadModule php5_module        libexec/apache2/libphp5.so
    ...
    Include /private/etc/apache2/other/*.conf

    $ cat /etc/apache2/other/php5.conf 
    <IfModule php5_module>
            AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
            AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .phps

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

i just replied to joshrice below, but i installed everything with mamp and never read anything in a tutorial or online that required additional configuration for php when using mamp. perhaps i overlooked something?
