I have some scripts that need to use a newer version of PHP, Im running Debian 6 which has PHP 5.3.3 support, I found I could install php 5.4 using https://www.dotdeb.org/instructions/ packages. This worked, it updated my PHP to a newer version, the only issue is that when the install completed apache now downloads the PHP file instead of rendering it, Ive been troweling google and stackoverflow and servefault for hours now and I cant find a solution.

Im guessing this has something to do with the Apache configs, but I don't know what to do.

Probably there is a problem in the loading of included .conf files for php, so that there is no longer a correct addhandler statement tying .php extension files to the php module. Check through the apache .conf files and include directories.
