When you open up a php file in emacs, does it start using the PHP
mode? (it will appear as "PHP" in the status bar down the bottom).

If that's happening, then a call to M-x font-lock-mode is probably all
you need. 

For your .emacs file, just start with an empty file, and add:

(font-lock-mode)

which should work.

(Caveat, I'm using Xemacs, so things might be slightly different for
vanilla emacs).
