As far as I know no versions of PHP officially supports Apache 2. The 
SAPI modules are still marked "experimental" in the most current source 
code.

Well, that's PHP development for you. Apparently there are issues of 
higher priority than actually getting the stuff to work in a production 
environment.

The Apache 2 SAPI module has an ugly memory leak in versions prior to 
4.3.9. One byte is lost for every byte sent to the web server. During 
typical operation this doesn't have a large effect, as Apache restarts 
each child process after it has handled a certain number of requests. 
If a script outputs large amount of data (i.e. multi-megabyte file 
downloads), then you have a problem.
