Basically, the SRPMS are just another file format that holds the tar.gz file. You can either download the SRPMS or just get the tar.gz file from PHP or Apache and do the compile. So for example you are going to build apache:
$ su -
# cd /tmp
put the packages here.
# rpm -i apache-1.3.19-5.src.rpm
Extract the tar file which are part of the SRPMS:
# tar -xzvf /usr/src/redhat/SOURCES/apache_1.3.19.tar.gz
After the files have been extracted, a directory is created under /tmp, namely the package_name_version, for example: apache_1.3.19.
# cd /tmp/apache_1.3.19
# pwd
# ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/apache
# make
# make install
So basically, the SRPMS are just another file format that holds the tar.gz file.
To install Apache with PHP support see the following doc:
http://www.redhat.com/support/resources/howto/howtophp.pdf
to install Apache, PHP and MySQL see Permaine Chung's article, just subsitute MySQL for the Redhat Database:
http://www.redhat.com/support/resources/howto/database/database_php/
It really isn't hard once you have gone through it. The important thing to remember is to have a gcc complierer in your path.
