Download the source for php and apache.

Build php with config options:

Code:

'./configure' \
'--with-apache=/usr/src/apache_1.3.19' \
'--enable-track-vars' \
'--enable-shared'

Use the correct absolute or a relative path to your apache. Run make and then make install. When complete go to the apache dir and configure apache with the following:

Code:

./configure \
"--enable-shared=max" \
"--enable-module=rewrite" \
"--enable-module=most" \
"--with-layout=Apache" \
"--activate-module=src/modules/php4/libphp4.a" \
"--activate-module=src/modules/standard/mod_so.o"

This will staticly link in the php library into the httpd executable. Run make, then make install and it should be done.

Both the php and apache come with good build and install documentation, so I suggest that you read it. I may have left some details out.

If you don't have the Apache source available (or don't want to rebuilt it) you can build PHP as a Apache module... I think you just issue --with-apxs when you run ./configure. Its been a while since I've needed to reinstall... (you could even build it as a traditional stand alone interpreter then use it the same way you would with any other CGI script although this looses a lot of the feature that makes PHP nice). I imagine that (don't quote me on this) using Crabboy's method would produce a slightly faster PHP implementation)
