Well.....A little to complicated to answer here.

But basically -
Buy some Linux books.

You will need to get the source code for php from www.php.net. you probably
want PHP 4.3.4 (tar.gz)
You need to unzip it and untar it
Then read the README and INSTALL files
Run the configure script with mysql and other options.

Ofcourse if you dont have the mysql libraries on that server, you will need
to install them before any of the above. http://www.mysql.com/

You may also have to restart or even recompile Apache. . www.apache.org
