If you are trying to use php on your local computer (localhost) then it sounds like at the moment your doing it the hard way. I would suggest not installing apache and instead install WAMP. Alternativley there is XAMPP but XAMPP is a bit buggy at the moment. The package WAMP includes apache, php, perl, email server etc all in the one install. So try googling WAMP.

I just took a l@@k and looks like I've been told some misleading information about WAMP. Apparently there isn't a mailserver in WAMP and the mailserver in XAMPP is a devil to get working. Perhaps in version one there might have been an addon or a patch for a mail server in WAMP but other than that l@@ks like it needs to be added separately unlike I've been recently told. So WAMP actually includes php, mysql, phpmyadmin and apache unfortunately.
