If you are going to use PHP to make web based stuff, then yes it's a good idea
to have Apache with PHP and maybe even MySQL installed.

If you want the easy way, just download a Linux install CD, make an install,
do select to install server version or go into selecting packages to install
and select apache/php/mysql and within 20-30 min you have all you need installed.
No hassle with difficult installers that don't work, all will work from start.
