I have always found that very confusing and used the easy solution
of specifying it explicit.

Example from my VMS httpd.conf:

LoadModule php7_module "/disk1/net/php/mod_php_apache-2_0.exe"
PHPIniDir "/disk1/net/php"

And on Windows (with a very old PHP version):

LoadModule php5_module 
"C:/DivNative/32bit/php-5.6.23-Win32-VC11-x86/php5apache2_4.dll"
PHPIniDir "C:/DivNative/32bit/php-5.6.23-Win32-VC11-x86"

Probably reveals that I am no an Apache & PHP expert, but it works
and it is easy to understand.
