"Me too!"

I had no problems getting PHP 5 it to work on Gentoo.  Guessing from one
of your recent emails, one thing that *might* be key for you is the
difference between the php and mod_php ebuilds.  php is the CLI/CGI
version of PHP.  mod_php is the Apache module that you setup as the
handler for *.php pages served through Apache.  You should be emerging
the latter.  Restart Apache after your emerge, too.

HTH,
