I have FC5 installed on my work machine as my primary OS at the
moment.

FC5 currently uses version 2.2.0 of Apache.

On Fedora systems run (edited for clarity):
$ yum info httpd
...
Name   : httpd
Arch   : i386
Version: 2.2.0
Release: 5.1.2
Size   : 2.7 M
Repo   : installed

or:
$ rpm -q httpd
httpd-2.2.0-5.1.2

Fedora is focussed on being very cutting edge and developer
driven.  If you are installing a permanent server, I'd recommend
the Linux distribution CentOS which is based off the sources of
"a prominent North American Enterprise Linux vendor."  Security
updates for the latest version of CentOS are planned to be
released until Feb 29, 2012.

To get php working.

Check to see if you have it installed:
$ rpm -q php
package php is not installed

Install it with yum:
$ yum install php

It should work out of the box (with a restart of Apache).

SSL is a little more difficult.

Check out the Red Hat System Administration Guide:

Specifically, this section:
26. Apache HTTP Secure Server Configuration
