I didn't even notice, but those RPMs were for the RaQ2 so there was no chance they
would install.

So you have MySQL running?  Great!

Yikes.  I can't believe there's a PHP v2 RPM on the Cobalt site.  PHP is at version
4.0.1 and I'm pretty sure there is a PHP 4.0 RPM for the RaQ3 somewhere on the site,
though it may have been beta.  I'm pretty sure there's a later PHP 3.x RPM (3.0.16 I
believe) on the Cobalt site - maybe under "experimental".  I don't have the FTP
layout memorized.  I'd recommend 3.0.16 over 3.0.7.  To test php after you install
it, create a file in a web-readable directory with the following content (and only
the following content):

<? phpinfo(); ?>

Save it as phptest.php and try to view it from a browser.

Honestly, I don't know what the doc RPM is.  Could be an online version of the PHP
manual.  I don't think I've ever touched it and I've installed PHP on the RaQs more
times than I can count.
