Implementing php on an apache server.

[Aaron Howell]

Don't put your php scripts in your cgi-bin directory.
Your apache server is trying to execute them as cgi rather than interpreting them as php because of the ScriptAlias directive pointing at your cgi-bin directory, which takes precidence over everything else.
