Personally, I've got a single shell script that I've been using to download php/apache and compile it , installing all the necessary evils while doing so. It's worked for me for a few years.

RPMs are good, but becoming dependent on them can be a bad thing. I tend to stick with rpms to manage only the core essentials any more :P
