What I do when I need to run php on top of apache is to install libapache2-mod-php5. It will pull everything you need to have a basic apache2+php5 setup running. Then, you can install whatever php modules that you need. THey are usually called php5-<modulename>. You configure apache2 by editing the files under /etc/apache2 and php by editing /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini and the files under /etc/pgp5/apache2/conf.d .
