It might be worth trying to install the php5 package again
if my previous suggestions don't get it working.  You shouldn't have 
needed to do any of that, so it is likely that PHP didn't make it into 
the system,

Technically yes, but they would essentially be shell scripts.  If you 
are running software that you were previously sending over to a host to 
be served up, you will definitely need to install a web server.
