I've had great success with Apache/PHP running on Drake 8.2. I have
one box with Apache 2.0.43/PHP 4.2.3 and another box with Apache
2.0.44/PHP 4.3.1.

I did tarballs and didn't have any trouble.

If you decide to go with tarballs, the first thing you'll want to do
is go through the INSTALL files for both products -- particularly for
PHP -- before you do anything else.
FWIW, I decided to run PHP as a module... I first configured and built
Apache with --enable-cgi --enable-so. Then I configured and built PHP
with --with-apxs2=/path/to/apxs --with-mysql, and pretty much followed
the procedure in the PHP INSTALL file for running PHP as a module.
