make install

If file /usr/local/apache/modules/libphp5.so does not exist
cp -p .libs/libphp5.so /usr/local/apache/modules

cp -p php.ini-production /usr/local/apache/php/php.ini

# Use for PHP 5.x:
LoadModule php5_module modules/libphp5.so
AddHandler php5-script php

# Add index.php to your DirectoryIndex line:
DirectoryIndex index.html index.php

AddType text/html php

# PHP Syntax Coloring
# (optional but useful for reading PHP source for debugging):
AddType application/x-httpd-php-source phps

Restart Apache

# /usr/local/apache/bin/apachectl -k stop
# /usr/local/apache/bin/apachectl -f /usr/local/apache/conf/httpd.conf

Perform these sanity checks to verify your install went OK:

/usr/local/apache/bin/httpd -t
/usr/local/apache/bin/httpd -v
/usr/local/apache/bin/httpd -V
/usr/local/apache/bin/httpd -S
/usr/local/apache/bin/httpd -l

Access your webserver with telnet. Type HEAD / HTTP/1.0 followed by a blank line:

Add the below lines in index.html

<p>
<b>An Example of PHP in Action</b><br />
<?php echo "The Current Date and Time is: <br>";
echo date("g:i A l, F j Y.");?>
</p>
<h2>PHP Information</h2>
<p>
<?php phpinfo(); ?>
</p>

And copy index.html to index.php
