Both header and called file can't be PHP in Apache2 version

Hi Brian,
 
A couple years back, I tried using mod_layout with Apache2 but there was
a bug that wouldn't allow the header and footer files to be PHP if the
called file was PHP as well. It was either one or the other.
(see
http://lists.tangent.org/pipermail/mod_layout/2005-July/002165.html)
 
We're now hoping to move to Apache2 and I desperately need this working
since our intranet is relying on mod_layout.  I'm not a C programmer so
I can't offer any help but I'm hoping this might have been fixed and not
posted yet? <hopeful grin>

Let me know if there's anything I can include to help diagnose the issue
and come to a resolve.  Thanks for your help, Brian! :)
