Playing around in my spare time I have been trying to get fedora 7 to do the php includes, but for some reason I missed something and it not getting the desired results, anybody have a clue what I might have missed?
Also, what steps to I need to take to have my Fedora 7 machine acts as a web server

Why anyone would use Fedora for anything, let alone a server, has always confused me.
Luke -Jr is easily confused.

Does "because I like it" count?

or why anyone would use Gentoo when they could use BSD

Gentoo supports BSD ;)
On a serious note, I'm familiar with the GNU system more than UNIX. Linux also has better hardware support, in theory.

Whoever uses Gentoo tools on BSD is just not smart (ports/packages have been around a lot longer than Gentoo has). If they didn't like the way the current package manager why not try to improve upon it and not replace it. I do like writing my own software, but at times rewriting/porting seems wasteful and this is one of them.

Every package builder/manager has its strengths and weaknesses. Whether someone is better off with ports or portage is dependent on what they want to do with it.

Sometimes the original architecture just isn't flexible enough.

The key thing to remember is that the core steps to getting php to work on Fedora is the same as on any other distribution.
You need to install the php package (in this case it is in rpm format). You need to restart the server (service httpd restart). You then put your PHP code in a file ending in .php and attempt to access it. If this doesn't work then look at your log files for clues.
If you want to setup Fedora to be a webserver then ensure that:
1) You open up port 80 (and maybe 443 for https) on your local firewall.
2) You ensure that the webserver will start up on reboot.

You'll find a lot more help in the fedora mailing list.
`yum install httpd php` is normally enough.
