Here are a couple good articles on how to install PHP under different operating systems.
Windows
http://www.devarticles.com/c/a/PHP/Installing-PHP-under-Windows-Further-Configuration-of-WAMP/
In his last article, Matthew showed us how to successfully install and configure WAMP (Windows, Apache, MySQL and PHP) to setup a development environment. In this next piece, learn how to make use of the Apache and PHP configuration files to further enhance your server needs.
Linux
http://www.brtnet.org/linux/lamp.htm
Most out-of-the-box Red Hat Linux installations will have one or more of the LAMP components installed via RPM files. I personally believe in installing things like this from source, so I get the most control over what's compiled in, what's left out, etc. But source code installs can wreak havoc if overlaid on top of RPM installs, as the two most likely won't share the same directories, etc.

This is a very quick-and-dirty HOWTO for installing what's known as a 'LAMP' system: Linux, Apache (1.3.x), MySQL (3.23.x) and PHP4 (yes, the P can sometimes be for Perl or Python, but this is about PHP) on a Red Hat Linux system. I happen to use Red Hat Linux 9, but I don't think anything here is so unusual it won't work as written on other distributions.
