Compiling PHP5 and Apache2 from Scratch on Suse Linux

I am more familiar with Ubuntu, but my employer uses Suse Linux Enterprise 9 as the corporate standard.

On Suse, how do I compile PHP5 and Apache2, and also support https and the PHP5 MS SQL Server API? Got a quick cheat sheet for that?

Also, how do I install a Verisign cert on Apache2? My company already has the cert for "x.com", and they can issue me a "y.x.com" type cert (where our app is the "y" in that address).

Is there a binary installation tool for SuSE? Like Red Hat uses RPMs and the yum tool. I know there is a tool called apt, but I am not sure which distros use that.

Another thing to try is to install it through the GUI. A lot of distros have a GUI that will let you install and manage software packs.

I used this page to install apache and php on my boxes: http://dan.drydog.com/apache2php.html

Before starting the installation, make sure that zlib, gcc, and flex are installed.
