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

Thanks Keith, I've added code and rebooted server, but it still doesn't work.

OK, let's go back to the beginning so you can follow what is required one step at a time and understand what each step is.

First step, you build and install PHP from source and one of the files is named libphp5.so and you need to know where it is in the source so you can verify it against the installed file to ensure it is the same file so after the make command do:

ls -lsa $(find . -name libphp5.so)

Second step, what is the actual path of the new installed libphp5.so file?

You need to know that this module is installed in the correct location and you need to know what this location is.

A HINT: this is usually a path where other apache modules are.

ANOTHER HINT: this should tell you where that directory is.

/usr/sbin/apxs -q LIBEXECDIR

Verify that the libphp5.so file is in this directory and it's date/size match that of the one from the apache build

Third piece of information I want is the unmodified line from your httpd.conf that loads the php module.

These 3 pieces of information will tell you a lot about the installation.
