On a non-gentoo system, go to php.net and read the instructions. IIRC, there are two lines that look like this

LoadModule libexec/libphp4.so (or whatever the php module is called)
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php

and, optionally,

AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .phps

Hope that helps. I'm not sure what Shawn is talking about. I'm running gentoo, but I would still prefer to compile apache+php from source rather than portage.

Getting PHP running with Apache requires you to make a change to the config
files, so that Apache knows to load the mod_php module when it starts up.

Put this line in your /etc/conf/apache2 file (on a Gentoo server at least -
might be different on other distros)

APACHE2_OPTS="-D PHP4"

(If you need SSL support, then you would also have a "-D SSL")

you'll have to restart Apache for the change to take effect.  You might also
need to add the mod_php to your apache2.conf file
(/etc/apache2/conf/apache2.conf on my server).

As for reading your old apache .configure info, if you can get php running
before you upgrade Apache, then you can load a php page into your browser
with the following line in it:

<?php phpinfo(); ?>

This will display what options PHP has access to, and down near the bottom
(or is it the top?) of the page will be the .configure information for
Apache.

./configure --enable-so --prefix=/usr/local/apache2 ./configure --with-apxs2=/usr/local/apache2/bin/apxs --with-mysql --enable-ftp

those are the config lines i used to try and install apache 2.0 and php
4.3.5

i got apache running, but it wouldn't use php at all, or seem to find it.

and i'm trying to load php, the 'dynamic' way, so i don't have to
recompile apache, each time i upgrade php.

running yellowdog linux 2.3

also, is there a way to have the ./configure script for apache, 'look'
at my old settings for apache 1.3, and use the settings it can to setup
the new server?

thanks.
