That depends on what GNU/Linux distribution you're using. On Debian based system (Debian, Ubuntu, etc.), it's as easy as typing:
sudo apt-get install php5
There are of course many add on packages you may want as well. For example, php5-imagick would be a good one if you want to manipulate images on the back end.
Under other distributions, you may need to use different package managers. On Fedora for instance, it would probably be:
sudo yum -y install php5
(if I remember the arguments for yum that is - it's been a while).
If you're using a really old one (e.g. Slackware), you'd need to download the source code and do a direct build usually something like this:
wget http://www.php.net/get/php-5.3.6.tar.bz2/from/ca.php.net/mirror -O php-5.3.6.tar.bz2
tar -jxvf php-5.3.6.tar.bz2
cd php-5.3.6
./configure
make
sudo make install

PHP with Linux is completely different, since everything is free (Linux, Apache, Mysql, FileZila, PHP, etc.).
