As part of the work Geoff and I are doing with Apache-Test, I wrote some instructions for installing PHP and Apache with my favorite options.

To install PHP as a shared library:

$ tar -xvzf apache_1.3.31.tar.gz
$ tar -xvzf php-5.0.2.tar.gz

$ cd apache_1.3.31
$ ./configure \
      --prefix=/usr/local/apache \
      --enable-module=most \
      --enable-shared=max
$ make
$ sudo make install

$ cd ../php-5.0.2
$ ./configure \
      --prefix=/usr/local/php \
      --with-apxs=/usr/local/apache/bin/apxs \
      --with-gd \
      --with-mysql=/usr/local/mysql \
      --enable-sockets
      --with-zlib-dir=/usr/include
$ make
$ sudo make install

To install PHP as a static library:

$ tar -xvzf apache_1.3.31.tar.gz
$ tar -xvzf php-5.0.2.tar.gz

$ cd apache_1.3.31
$ ./configure

$ cd ../php-5.0.2
$ ./configure \
      --prefix=/usr/local/php \
      --with-apache=../apache_1.3.31 \
      --with-gd \
      --with-mysql=/usr/local/mysql \
      --enable-sockets \
      --with-zlib-dir=/usr/include
$ make
$ sudo make install

$ cd ../apache_1.3.31
$ ./configure \
      --prefix=/usr/local/apache \
      --activate-module=src/modules/php5/libphp5.a \
      --enable-module=most \
      --enable-shared=max
$ make
$ sudo make install

If you're planning to attend ApacheCon, you don't want to miss our talk, Testing PHP with Perl. It will (hopefully) change the way you develop PHP applications.
