I just learn to setup AMP on centos. Below are the steps

Once your CentOS is installed. type yum install httpd to install apache web server
type yum install php to install PHP
Once PHP installed successfully, type yum install mysql-server mysql
Once everything finish, type service httpd start to start your apache web server, screen will show you if web server service successfully started
type service mysqld start to start your mysql server
Once both services is running, you can point your browser to http://localhost and you should see a welcome page from CentOS
To test php is running properly, go to /var/www/html and create an index.php file with the content below
