I left php4 on the machine running Dialup Admin.  I think I first
tried 5.x but the Dialup Admin code is old and hasn't been updated
for deprecated and removed features, IIRC.  We originally installed
it in a jail on FreeBSD 6.x.  The machine is now running FreeBSD
8.3.  However, we've left the installed Apache/PHP ports alone.
It's firewalled off from public access.

Are you sure you spelled the AddType rule correctly in httpd.conf
to tell it that .php3 files are php applications?

    AddType application/x-httpd-php .php3

That's my first guess for why you are seeing php code output in the
page rather than executed.

If I had it to do over again, I would probably use the DaloRADIUS
web interface instead of Dialup Admin.  We populate the DB with
scripts from our billing/provisioning system and just use Dialup
Admin for read-only access to call logs for the occasional tech
support calls.
