Technical question not at all related to blogging

I'm trying to install the latest version of PHP onto a clean machine to run with Apache and MySQL. I've done it before (successfully) with a previous version, on another machine, but this time I'm running into problems. Googling shows that I'm not alone in the trouble.

That's background, now, a simple question:

On Apache, would PHP be listed as a service? MySQL is, so is Apache itself, but PHP isn't on the list (that I can determine).

Thanks,
(starting to cast about for arcane reasons...)

No - PHP lives inside Apache (essentially) so it's not a service itself.

Thanks! I'm not sure exactly which parm needed tweaking, but the combo I've got at the moment seems to be working. It most emphatically is *not* secure enough for a production version, but it'll do for development work.
