PHP, apache (Linux), and modules

[sinister]

I plan on installing PHP and Apache on a Linux box. (Plan on doing it with
binaries that come with Linux distro.)

One thing I'm confused about is how PHP is run as a module. I'm not that
familiar with this stuff, and I would have thought that there's something
called mod_php that needs installing. But I can't find much reference to
anything like that anywhere.

(Want to install as little stuff as possible.)

TIA,

Re: PHP, apache (Linux), and modules

The PHP module's name is libphp[4|5].so (does not follow the mod_xxx
terminology) and needs to be put in the 'modules' subdirectory of your
apache installation dir. Then, you put a 'LoadModule' line in apache
conf, like for any Apache module.
