Thanks for the great suggestions. We might be getting a bit closer here...
1) I did find that doc_root was not set in my php.ini so I filled it in and pointed it to my apache htdocs directory
2) Error logging was turned on in php.ini but I expanded it to include E_STRICT
3) Error logging to a file was not turned on in php.ini so I turned it on. No errors have showed up in the logfile I specified.
4) expose_php is turned on as well as the ServerTokens and ServerSignature lines you gave. Unfortunately, when I view a 404 URL, apache identifies itselv, but does NOT say anything about php. This led me to believe that somehow my
php.ini was not getting read. I tried pointing $PHPRC directly to my php.ini and restarting the apache server but this didn't change anything. Somehow I still suspect that my php.ini is not getting found so I'm going to fool around with that now.

Are you using the short php open tags - like <? <%
instead of the full <?php open tag?
If so then php will ignore any embeded php code unless you
use the full <?php to switch to php mode.
;;php.ini extract
; whether PHP may add its signature to the Web server header
expose_php = YES
; Allow ASP-style <% %> tags.
asp_tags = OFF
; Allow the <? tag. Otherwise, only <?php and <script> tags
are recognized.
short_open_tag = OFF
Another thing, when you do a directory listing, or generate
a 404 apache error, does Apache return the php version as
part of the server signature?
You can check this by setting expose_php = YES iniphp.ini,
and in httpd.conf, setting:
ServerTokens Full
ServerSignature On
This should show you if php is loaded into apache OK.

In theory, theory and practice are the same;
In practice they are not.
