What are the steps to install a LAMP configuration under Gentoo

Question

All of the guides I could find online were from 2004 and they no longer work. I am stumped.

Could someone create a step by step guide? I have Apache working, but PHP does not work.

It shouldn't be too complicated. Make sure you've done the following (or equivalent commands):

# Make sure PHP has the apache2 USE flag set
echo "dev-lang/php apache2" >> /etc/portage/package.use
# Install packages
emerge www-server/apache dev-lang/php

then edit /etc/conf.d/apache2 to include -D PHP5 in APACHE2_OPTS, (re)start Apache, and you should be good to go.

If you've accounted for all that, you'll need to provide more specific information about what problems you're having in the question, as txwikinger pointed out.
