The problem is that you were trying to install a package built for Red
Hat 7.3. You'll need the php-* packages for Red Hat 9. Head to a
decent mirror, e.g.,

  ftp://limestone.uoregon.edu/redhat/updates/9/en/os/i386/

and grab the php-* rpms. Try those instead.

Feh. PHP works fine with the Apache 2.x packages shipped with Red Hat
9. Try those thoroughly before doing anything out of the ordinary.
