Thank you. I tried this. At least I get a different error now. I'm not
sure if I'm doing this correctly. I used mkdir to add a
public_html directory in home user directory (do I need to do something
fancier or put this somewhere else?) The permissions are:
drwxr-xr-x    2 amaynard amaynard      112 May 13 09:57 public_html/

Then I copied the php file into this directory, with permissions:
-rw-rw-r--    1 amaynard amaynard      111 May 12 19:28 hello.php

The I pointed the browser to  http://localhost/~amaynard/php/hello.php
but got a permission error this time (different from what I had before):

Forbidden

You don't have permission to access /~amaynard/php/hello.php on this
server.

Additionally, a 403 Forbidden error was encountered while trying to use an
ErrorDocument to handle the request.
Apache/2.0.53 (Unix) mod_ssl/2.0.53 OpenSSL/0.9.7d PHP/5.0.4 DAV/2
mod_perl/1.999.21 Perl/v5.8.6 Server at localhost Port 80

Am I setting up the public_html in the wrong way/place?
