Help - Php just WON't work

Question

I followed these directions and it simply won't work. Help. Why don't you put PHP and MYSQL in the installer itself? This is why I use Apache, and I can't stand Apache, I want to use sun, but apparently there is no hope for mysql to actually worth with your server, and php can?
4.2 Configuring Web Server to use PHP as NSAPI Plug-in
To configure the Web Server to use PHP as NSAPI plug-in, perform the following steps:
Go to the web server instance's config directory.
For example (UNIX):
/sun/webserver70/https-mywebserver/config
Add the following lines to the magnus.conf file:
UNIX/Linux:
# Initialize PHP v5.x
Init fn="load-modules" shlib="libphp5.so" funcs="php5_init,php5_close,php5_execute,php5_auth_trans"
Init fn="php5_init" errorString="PHP Initialization Failed!"
Windows:
# Initialize PHP v5.x
Init fn="load-modules" shlib="php5nsapi.dll" funcs="php5_init,php5_close,php5_execute,php5_auth_trans"
Init fn="php5_init" errorString="PHP Initialization Failed!"
Edit the obj.conf file to enable the Web Server to process a PHP-based request.
Important note: If there are more than one file with the name "*obj.conf", be sure to edit the correct file. Use wadm's get-virtual-server-prop command to get the correct file name. For more information on this command, see http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/819-3283/6n5h03hsu?a=view.
For example:
<web server install dir>/bin/wadm get-virtual-server-prop --user=admin --config=CONFIG --vs=VS object-file
(a) Add the following lines as the first directive of the "default" object in the obj.conf file.
<Object name="default">
Service type="magnus-internal/php" fn="php5_execute"
</Object>
(b) Modify the PathCheck directive if you want the Web Server to handle index.php as an index for document directories.
change
PathCheck fn="find-index" index-names="index.html"
to
PathCheck fn="find-index" index-names="index.html,index.php"
Add the following line to the mime.types file to register the PHP extensions with the Web Server.
type=magnus-internal/php exts=php,php3,php4,php5
(Windows only). Add the <php install directory> to the system PATH so that web server can load the required dlls. Because the web server runs as a windows service, any change in the system PATH requires a restart to take effect.
For example:
PATH=...;C:\Sun\Webserver70\plugins\php;

You might also consider simply using the pre-compiled, comes with an installer script copy of PHP from here .
Unfortunately this version of PHP is a bit dated. Hopefully Sun will update it at some point.
