Thanks Chris.  I was able to get things going nicely last night by 
doing the following:

In Terminal:
"locate httpd.conf"

bbedit /private/etc/httpd/httpd.conf

and then made the necessary changes in bbedit to enable php.

This page was a helpful resource:

Thank to everyone for their suggestions,

-Aaron
