Hi Lluis, cool down, nothing is easy !
I don't think you can use the php.rpm. The rpm should install php as an apache 
module, but php_mapscript still seems to fit better with php as a cgi.

To build php_mapscript, you will need to compile some libraries, or install 
their -devel rpm. Then you have to compile php, and then mapserver.
Libraries compilation are quite straight forward, but for php and mapserver, 
you will have to try different ./configure options.
There are some good docs in the documentation and the wiki pages and plenty. 
Search the list as well. Try the wiki page describing phpmapscript 
installation on RedHat9; RedHat filesystem is quite similar to Mandrake one.
Actually, it's not that much difficult, you'll find out.
