Oh yeah, I forgot about 'yum' ... i usually do yast2 on my Suse systems at home, but this server machine is CentOS.
There is this tutorial, but it's pretty long winded and overkill in terms of the packages installed - you'll probably want to skip over the non PHP/Apache/MySQL parts.

Section 9 & 11 should be enough for you. Even then they install more packages that you really need, but I wouldn't worry about that for now.
It's best to just stick to the versions Centos installs rather than compiling your own.
