Interesting that the question specifically stated "...and rebooted Apache" and 
the answer was: "...did you restart Apache?"

As mentioned in another post, you should have added the 
LoadModule line before restarting Apache: 

( see http://www.php.net/manual/en/install.apache.php )
------<snip>--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
12. Edit your httpd.conf or srm.conf file and check that these lines are
    present and not commented out:
   AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
   LoadModule php4_module        libexec/libphp4.so
------</snip>-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

If you get an Apache error after inserting that line in your httpd.conf file,
check your php.ini settings, even though it _seems_ like an Apache
error. Note also that the LoadModule line is different for win32,
using a .dll instead of a .so.
