 closing tag was black.  It also (in the web page) displayed the
 closing tag like regular text.

Are you saying that you see the <?php and ?> when you view the source of the page? If so then your configuration in Apache is wrong. Please do as I said and read the manual page regarding installing PHP4 on Apache2, following the instructions and check the Apache error log.

 I tried to put the line in about loading the module (mine is php4)
 and apache complained saying that it had already been called (from
 the conf.d file).  I did however add the following:

 I then restarted apache (service httpd restart) and tried viewing the
 pages again; same outcome.

Check the Apache error log - I'm guessing it's failing to initialise the PHP module.
