If you are porting a 3.6 application then you could go with 3.6 on Linux 
as well to make the transition easier.  Otherwise 4.0 is officially the 
latest and greatest stable release

PHP as a CGI for both 4.0 or 3.6.

The only absolute requirement is GD (GD 1.8.4 for 3.6, or GD 2.0.12 or 
more recent for V4.0).  jpeglib and pnglib are required by GD if you 
built it using those formats so they're also required by MapServer. 
Same with freetype if you built your GD to use it.

You may need other libs depending on the options you need for your 
application.  See the file README.CONFIGURE in the root of the MapServer 
source package for a description of what each lib/option does and how to 
enable it.

Finally, you'll also find resources on compiling and installing PHP 
MapScript in the Wiki at
