apxs "missing" from Apache in macOS 12

Hi. I understand that PHP is depreciated in macOS 12 so I am trying to install it manually by downloading and using the make command. As I understand it, for the PHP .so module to be created when making PHP I need to point to Apache's apxs. However, Apache does not have apxs on my fresh macOS 12 and I don't know how to install it. I have read that httpd-devel might be needed but I am not sure what this is. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Note that I do not want to use Homebrew or similar - I'd rather do this manually.
