For an active-passive (Hot Backup) setup, an alternative would be:
1. scheduled rsync for replicating static files (.php, .css, .html, etc)
2. MySQL master-slave (one-way) replication for the DB
3. Ucarp for ip failover.

I'd do something like this:
- One frontend webserver proxying for those two PHP app servers (or
more depending on load and availability of redundant
connectivity)
- MySQL taken out from those app servers and put in a separate
server (in another duo probably so I can do replication/clustering)
- If applicable, compartmentalize the PHP and web servers so they
can be made into virtual machines later (e.g. if you want to throw it
to EC2 or to a private cloud)
Generally I'd spread the workload to more machines to reduce single
point of failure (and allow for future extensions implementing HA.)
As others have pointed out, there's quite a lot of HA/failover
solutions out there, so you may have to evaluate a few to determine if
they fit your requirements.
