Err, no, I think it's better to do MySQL first:

Installing the server will normally also get you the client. Any reason
for not going with MySQL 5?

If MySQL is already installed, php-mysql (or if using PHP5 also
php-mysqli) will pick up the libraries of the already installed
mysql-client. Any reason to not go with PHP 5?

> install apache

Install Apache before PHP, especially when you're installing Apache 2.0
or 2.2. By doing that, PHP will pick up on the right apxs binary and
build with that compatibility in mind.
