Apache PHP

Sorry, I was being a bit brief. cd to the php source directory and then
run the php build command and install the software. Then cd to the apache
directory and run the apache build command and install the software. I
used the checkinstall program trathet than a "make install" to install each
program. This intercepts the "make install" command and builds an rpm from
the installed files, which it then installs. The benefit of this is that,
if you make a mistake in the build you can easily uninstall the software
with a "rpm -e" command.
