Well, it seems that the CGI isn't kicking in for some reason.

Look at the "Server API" value close to the top of the phpinfo() output. 
  If it says anything other than "CGI" then your PHP CGI isn't working. 
It could be that the Apache server has PHP builtin and in this case it 
is used in priority to handle type application/x-httpd-php.

To force bypassing the PHP module and using the CGI, use a different 
type, e.g.

AddType application/x-httpd-php-cgi .php .php4 .phtml
Action  application/x-httpd-php-cgi /cgi-bin/php433

And make sure you remove any AddType lines for application/x-httpd-php
