PHP and MySQL

Question

How will I configure my PHP and MySQL so that they can work with Apache server?
The versions that I use are
PHP 5.2.9
MySQL 6.0.8
Apache 2.2
I know that I have to configure the php.ini file. But what changes am I supposed to make?
Thanks in advance.

If you only need this for testing there are a couple of ready to use lampp, xampp stacks out there apachefriends.org/en/xampp.html
No. I need them for installing Moodle server. So I can't use xampp or any other thing.
In future please make the title of your question more informative, thanks!
FYI: MySQL doesn't have anything to do with Apache so you don't have to do any special configuration magic for them to work together.

It would help to know which OS you're using.

You might want to install Apache first.
When installing PHP, make sure you also install the "mysql" extension (and/or "mysqli").
The PHP installer may ask you which server you're running -- select Apache 2.2.x
The installer will add the appropriate settings to php.ini for you

Again, the above is assuming you're on Windows, and the installation varies on other OS'es. For example, on Ubuntu you'll likely have to "apt-get" the mysql extension.

I know it's not an answer but google up such phrase "apache mysql php", optionally you can give platform on which you setup webserver. You should have solution in no time.
