As long as you are not planning on taking advantage of the OOP nature of PHP5 (and some of the other PHP5 features) then sure, install it. In fact, when you are comfortable with it, you can install PHP5 on the same machine and choose which you want to run.

You might have to edit the apache config file.

Well, m apache does start on startup of PC. but i cant run it if i closed it on start up because the past mssage appears (the one i posted up).
I installed PHP5 manually. but still my *.php files wont run, or know which app to use.

How are you trying to run them? Double clicking them generally isn't set up to process them.
This overall seems like it's too much headache to deal with, so I'll suggest using xampp or one of the other packages that installs MySQL, Apache and PHP at once already set up to work with each other.

How are you trying to open it? It won't run by double clicking. You have to open it through the browser via Apache:
http://localhost/some/path/to/a/file.php.
