1- Can you see HTML files in the same directory?

2- How are you configuring ~user for Apache? 

3- Are you calling http://localhost/~user/ or http://somename/~user/ ?

4- If somename, does http://somename/ work for HTML and PHP?

It usually isn't a problem with the PHP file but a wrong command in the apache 
config.

Look for this section:
# Control access to UserDir directories.  The following is an example
# for a site where these directories are restricted to read-only.
#
#<Directory /home/*/public_html>

5- Are you running httpd2 or httpd1.3?
