There are a least two ways to add PHP functionality to Apache. One is as a loadable module, the other is as a static extension. I have found that following the instructions for building a static extension is much easier than building a loadable module. So, all my PHP, Apache configs use this later approach.

In this approach, the instructions are clear, but complex. You compile PHP as instructed and then instruct Apache to compile with PHP, the compile Apache. This is somewhat complex and is not something I would expect a newbie to do very easily. There are distributions which combine both PHP and Apache with a script to make it easier. You might consider finding one of these 'combined distros'.

Also, I found that the Wrok PHP book was helpful and used it for my install. (the red ones with the pictures of authors on the front).

apache_child_terminate

APACHE_CHILD_TERMINATE(3)						 1						 APACHE_CHILD_TERMINATE(3)

apache_child_terminate - Terminate apache process after this request

SYNOPSIS

       bool apache_child_terminate (void  )

DESCRIPTION

       apache_child_terminate(3)  will register the Apache process executing the current PHP request for termination once execution of PHP code is
       completed. It may be used to terminate a process after a script with high memory consumption has been run as memory will  usually  only	be
       freed internally but not given back to the operating system.

RETURN VALUES

	Returns  TRUE  if  PHP is running as an Apache 1 module, the Apache version is non-multithreaded, and the child_terminate PHP directive is
       enabled (disabled by default). If these conditions are not met, FALSE is returned and an error of level E_WARNING is generated.
