apache2 is the newest version, but I'm not sure it supports all of the
modules yet. apache13 is "stable" and well known, and you could probably
get away with installing that.

Install the port. It will build PHP as a shared object that can be loaded
by apache. The port build script will tell you which lines to add to your
httpd.conf file to get apache to load php scripts correctly.

`cd /usr/ports/www/mod_php4 && make install clean`

`cd /usr/ports/databases/mysql40-server && make install clean`
