To add to Dave's points:

Maybe the yum install of php is adding the following line to 
your httpd.conf file for you, which you will need to add 
manually when you compile php yourself?

AddType application/x-httpd-php .php

AddType application/x-httpd-php .hml
AddType application/x-httpd-php .htm
AddType application/x-httpd-php .html

Without this in your in httpd.conf file, php code will not 
be handed over to the php interpreter for parsing, so you 
will get php code returned to your browser window, instead 
of it executing on the server machine.
