From the Linux world, it's a no-no to mix 32-bit and 64-bit stuff that
are linked together sharing libraries.
In my world, Apache, php, and mysql would all have to be 64-bit in order
to work together. The package manager wouldn't allow you to install
anything else.
IF you're running php as a CGI instead of a mod_php, then you might get
away with a 32-bit version of it. And it might talk to a 32-bit version
of MySQL since it's usually done through a pipe or network socket. But
if you have Apache and mod_php, they're tied together and you're stuck
running a 64-bit version, however you get that.
