PHP Frontend and failed startups

I apologize if this has been covered, but does anyone know if using PHP in the themes is possible?

Also, I just began having startup errors - apache failed to start, bind, etc. They start upon the auto restart, and nothing seems to be out of place. The logs seem to indicate that other services are taking longer to start, which explains why the failed services fail to start, but is this something I should be concerned about?

Thanks for the help!
