Can PHP be made to work with Apache 2.0?
If so, advice please on what modules to download.

yes and no :)
what OS ?
you can use PHP as a CGI with Apache2 with no problems (except the limitations imposed on PHP as a CGI) but the Apache2 filters are stuffed and mod_php with Apache2 is still experimental and still unstable.
What modules do you need ? the apache2 src or win binary both have all the standard apache core modules included + a couple of useful ones.
for PHP you just need the laterst src for *nix and the latest ZIP (not the installer) for win32 (the installer works its just missing some useful stuff)
Unless you have a particular reason for wanting apache2 then I would avoid it for anything but vanilla HTML +- CGI.. I don't know if the PERL or other apache2 modules are broken but PHP certainly is (not unusable but not a good plan for a production server).

Thanks Firepages, I only use Apache as a local server for web development (on both Windows and Linux) so on the basis of your advice I'll stick to my current version.
