I had this same problem.  It appears that the mythweb package changed
from 0.16-1 using apache to 0.16-2 using apache2.

It took me days to fix and I'm not sure what I did.  The last thing I
remember doing was uninstalling and purgeing: apache, php, mythweb and
anything related.  And after rebooting, installing mythweb and letting
it pick apache and php.
  
I still get php error emailed to me sometimes.

Hope this helps,
Paul
