Upgrading PHP on Linux

I have Mandrake Linux 8.1, with which I am not much experienced as I am just really starting to get to grips with Linux. With the default install it installed PHP, along with Apache and MySQL. I have just downloaded the current stable release of PHP for Linux and decompressed it. What do I need to do now?

I want PHP integrated with Apache and MySQL (obv. so I can run PHP pages on Apache that access MySQL DBs), but I also want to be able to execute PHP scripts from the command line (specifically to utilise the sockets library e.g. socket_create() and then create some little TCP servers). What configure flags do I need to set and do I need to perform some kind of uninstall on the current install of PHP?

TIA for any help 🙂
