You do not need compiler for PHP. PHP is a scripting language which gets interpreted by HTTP server. You need to install PHP Apache module and start Apache sever in order to see how your code would look like on the web.

Just to program in PHP you need an editor. There are two good editors in the base nvi and mg editor.

Basically you would want to install php5-core and any extensions you want or need beyond that (e.g. php5-mysql). The PHP interpreter (php) can be used stand alone for testing simple scripts but for most interesting stuff related to the web: you will need to do as Oko has said - and set it up for use with Apache via module or CGI. Using PHP with Apache on OpenBSD is trivial if the chroot is disabled, if apache/httpd is run under chroot, well then it gets a little more interesting

php code goes where your .html files go. in /var/www/htdocs

also create /var/www/tmp writable by user "www" if you want to use the default session cookie behavior while retaining chroot. If none of that makes sense, you may want to do more reading, as there may be too much to teach in the format of this forum.
