You don't need this unless you want to run your PHP scripts through
CGI (which most people don't).

You need this, but it will be installed as a dependancy anyway.

You don't ned this unless you want to run your PHP scripts on the command line.

To run PHP scripts through Apache without going through CGI (which is
relatively slow) you will need: libapache-mod-php4 or
libapache2-mod-php4 depending on which version of Apache you use.

I believe standard CGI support is in the main apache module.
