There is some disagreement as to the meaning of these terms.
The distinction between agape and phileo is sometimes said to be that agape is the love of all things or a strong, selfless love and phileo is "brotherly" love and a less powerful emotion than agape.
However, it is also arguable that the two words really have little distinction and are simply examples of a language using two different words for the same thing. That is, after all, not a particularly unusual situation.

Agapi, according to theology, is selfless, endless love, but in modern Greek, the verb for "to love" is agapo. Some girls are named Agapi.
Philio, is love or affection for. This is where we get the suffix -phile, as in bibliophile, meaning lover of books, etc., and the prefix phil- as in philosophy, meaning love of wisdom.

Agapi is love and philia which is probably what you mean by pheleo, means friendship. It isnt that hard

S' agapo (Σε αγαÏÏ - in Greek) means I love you.
Se thelo (Σε θÎÎ»Ï - in Greek) means I want you with my heart.
Se echo erotefti (Σε ÎÏÏ ÎµÏÏÏεÏ
Ïεί - in Greek) means something like I am in love with you.
But it has quite different meaning from Se agapo.
Also, se potho (Σε ÏοθÏ) which means I want you (usually sexually) VERY much.
Sometimes the meaning has a much deeper feeling.
There are some other types (more complex) of 'love' you ask but i have no time to write and explain now.

Don't know about pheleo, but agape is the pure, non-romantic selfless love one can have for another or for humans in general.

AGAPE, from AGAN + PO (potho = desire), I desire immensly!
PHELEO, declares attraction
EROS, in classical Greek mean love, as in ERASITECHNIS (ERASTIS (lover) of TECHNI (Art)
