My PHP installer is supposed to switch the PHP, but sometimes it doesn't.  Possibly because the apache config file was altered in a way to break my grep.  System updates are not supposed to change the apache config, but it's a possibility.

You can try running the script manually from the PHP disk image:

  sudo /Volumes/PHP\ 5/phpenable.sh cgi5

then

  sudo apachectl graceful
