So you are using the RH9 bundeled apache but not it's PHP! Since you
appear to be a newbie with both RH and PHP either do everything by the
book for RH (it's packages) or to an install from source for both.

You do know that RedHat9 is ancient? It has already reached end of life
long ago, so no updates for either apache or php (or anything else
broken). So from source should be the preferred solution if you need
(security) updates, even better would be to upgrade to a supported
distribution.
