Problems with PHP5 and Apache

Well I have been running my web server for 5 months and had no problems. Today there was an update for PHP5 and Apache. I updated them and now I am having issues with accessing PHP files. It is forcing the download of any php file to the client. I probably need to downgrade to the last PHP5 but I don't know. I am running Ubuntu Server. Never had an issue like this before.

I am more of a perl/cgi guy myself but if I had to guess sounds like something didnt take in the update for php5-apache check the apache config files for something like

AddHandler application/x-httpd-php .php .phtml
AddHandler x-httpd-php .php .phtml

If your files aren't .php or .phtml, add the extension(s) you're using to the lines.

Hope this helps
