That's usually because PHP is compiled as CGI and the server has not
been set to use /usr/local/bin/php as the default handler for .php
files. Save yourself the pain - get a different host, preferably one
that has a clue. That said, if the server software is Apache, you might
be able to use something like the following in .htaccess to put a
bandaid on the problem:
Action php-script /usr/local/bin/php
AddHandler php-script .php
But then again, a host that doesn't have a handler set for the .php
extension is probably not a host to run a php site on...
