There’s a good step-by-step guide at Sun’s BigAdmin site on how to configure your Solaris box for SAMP - the Solaris equivalent of the LAMP stack.

The short, but sweet, article can be found here.

I use SAMP on the Ultra3 as my development platform for Cheffy. Although we don’t use PHP, I use Perl, but the acronyum is the same.

I also don’t use the ready to roll SFW packages, but compile my own, purely because I have some special settings I like to make use of in all of the different packages. But the fundamentals are the same.
