The answer above would require you to keep repeating steps 2 and 3 each time you destroy the box. I'd suggest you use Chef to achieve your goal. See the example below:

    config.vm.box       = "precise64"
    config.vm.box_url   = "http://files.vagrantup.com/precise64.box"

    config.vm.network :forwarded_port, guest: 80, host: 8080
    config.vm.network :forwarded_port, guest: 443, host: 443

    config.vm.network "private_network", ip: "192.168.33.10"

    config.vm.provision :chef_solo do |chef|

        chef.cookbooks_path = "/path/to/your/cookbooks"

        # Install PHP
        chef.add_recipe "php"
        chef.add_recipe "php::module_mysql"

        # Setup Apache
        chef.add_recipe "apache2"
        chef.add_recipe "apache2::mod_php5"

        chef.json = { :apache => { :default_site_enabled => true } }

    end

end
