'localhost prints .php file instead of executing it

I am running macOS 12.2.1 and I have installed php via brew install [email protected]. I have also added the following to my http.conf:

<IfModule dir_module>
    DirectoryIndex index.php index.html
</IfModule>

But instead of executing my index.php, the browser just prints its code <?php echo 'hello world'; ?>

Now, I know that I'm supposed to add LoadModule php7_module /usr/local/Cellar/[email protected]/7.4.27/lib/httpd/modules/libphp7.so to my httpd.conf as well, but if I do, I get a ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED.

I have noticed that all the other LoadModules point to a path libexec/apache2/.

Is my path incorrect? The file /usr/local/Cellar/[email protected]/7.4.27/lib/httpd/modules/libphp7.so does exist though... And I cannot find the directory /libexec/apache2/ on my system..
