		+	Before you begin, check your USE flags. My suggestion for the php package in ''/etc/portage/package.use'' is
		+	dev-lang/php mysql posix session pcre curl
		+	Emerge the package when you are ready.
		+	'''$''' sudo emerge -av dev-lang/php
		+	After the emerge has completed, you can change php's settings by editing its configuration file.
		+	'''$''' sudo nano -w /etc/php/apache2-php5.3/php.ini
		+	A few recommended configuration changes are as follows. Use ctrl-w to find the directives using nano.
		+	magic_quotes_gpc = Off
		+	session.auto_start = 1
		+	In order for apache to serve php pages, we'll need to modify its configuration file.
		+	'''$''' sudo nano -w /etc/conf.d/apache2
		+	Make sure the '''APACHE2_OPTS''' variable contains the following directive:
		+	-D PHP5
		+	Next restart the apache server
		+	'''$''' sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart
		+	You can create a simple php page to show php's configuration settings. If your web root home is the gentoo default ''/var/www/localhost/htdocs'',
		+	'''$''' sudo -u apache nano -w /var/www/localhost/htdocs/phpinfo.php
		+	Add the following to the file
		+	<?phpinfo();?>
		+	You can now visit http://localhost/phpinfo.php to view your php configuration in detail.
