What is the recommended procedure to allow/disallow PHP files to run in certain directories?

I have successfully implemented this like this in httpd.conf:

# PHP not allowed by default
<Files *.php>
order allow, deny
deny from all
</Files>

# PHP allowed in /php
<Directory /home/httpd/html/php>
<Files *.php>
order allow, deny
allow from all
</Files>
</Directory>

Are there other ways of doing this? Or should I be happy with my solution?

Yes. You may also want to change it to:

<FilesMatch "\.php$">
order deny, allow
deny from all
</FilesMatch>
