When you compile php + apache....many people have php as a DSO. So there is no actual binary file in a bin directory that is called. You can also have php as a module that is in the apache core, where it is loaded automatically in apache (not a DSO).
You can run php as a cgi which uses the binary...however that is really slow compared to the module. If you need the binary php then you can reconfigure php without apache (leave everything else), make, make install. I also like to add the config option of "--bindir=/usr/local/bin" to mine so that i get it all in where all users can use the php binary...
