As a followup, it seems that the instructions at http://matt.simerson.net/computing/apache.shtml
did not quite get php support into the apache binary, I guess. The only place I faltered in
was the building of mod_perl but I did not quite need mod_perl as a prerequisite. I skipped
the last configure option for building mod_perl.
Now I have laid bare my server since it's a test env - https://alligator.wananchi.com/server-info
is accessible by all. I don't see PHP as part of it. Does someone have a quick and dirt way to
get PHP support included in the Apache binary?

Thanks for all your support.

You HAVE to have the --activate-module=libphp4.a line, or it's not going to be
available to Apache.

As explained in the PHP INSTALL file:

QUICK INSTALL (Static)

$ gunzip -c apache_1.3.x.tar.gz | tar xf -
$ cd apache_1.3.x
$ ./configure
$ cd ..

$ gunzip -c php-4.0.x.tar.gz | tar xf -
$ cd php-4.0.x
$ ./configure --with-apache=../apache_1.3.x --enable-track-vars
$ make
$ make install

$ cd ../apache_1.3.x
$ ./configure --prefix=/www --activate-module=src/modules/php4/libphp4.a
(The above line is correct! Yes, we know libphp4.a does not exist at
this stage. It isn't supposed to. It will be created.)
$ make
(you should now have an httpd binary which you can copy to your Apache
bin dir if is is your first install then you need to "make install" as
well)
$ cd ../php-4.0.x
$ cp php.ini-dist /usr/local/lib/php.ini
You can edit /usr/local/lib/php.ini file to set PHP options.
Edit your httpd.conf or srm.conf file and add:
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php

It's a little more complicated than that with mod_perl, but not terribly so.
I first built mod_perl, then used this shell script (run from the Apache
directory) to build Apache:

./configure --prefix=/path/to/apache
cd /software/PHP/php-4.1.0
./configure --with-apache=/software/Apache/apache_1.3.22 \
--with-mysql=/usr/local/mysql \
--with-openssl \
--with-pgsql \
--enable-trans-sid \
--with-zlib
make
make install
cd /software/Apache/apache_1.3.22
# configure MUST be re-run after upgrading PHP
./configure --enable-module=most \
--activate-module=src/modules/php4/libphp4.a \
--activate-module=src/modules/perl/libperl.a \
--enable-shared=max \
--enable-suexec --suexec-caller=httpd --suexec-docroot=/web \
--suexec-uidmin=1000 --suexec-gidmin=1000 \
--server-uid=httpd --server-gid=httpd
make
make install

You also need to have these lines in your httpd.conf:
# Dynamic Shared Object (DSO) Support
#
# Note: The order in which modules are loaded is important. Don't change
# the order below without expert advice.
#
.
. (other LoadModule statements)
.
LoadModule perl_module libexec/libperl.so
LoadModule php4_module libexec/libphp4.so

# Reconstruction of the complete module list from all available modules
# (static and shared ones) to achieve correct module execution order.
# [WHENEVER YOU CHANGE THE LOADMODULE SECTION ABOVE UPDATE THIS, TOO]
ClearModuleList
.
. (other AddModule statements)
.
AddModule mod_perl.c
AddModule mod_php4.c
