Nothing is really changed until you do "make install" again.  You can
recompile all of your stuff as many times as you like.

As a matter of fact, I don't do make install once I have PHP working. 
All of the files will be in /etc/httpd/modules/ and
/etc/httpd/modules/php so you can backup those files and then over write
them with your newer versions.  (you can even do a make install if you
like)  If you crash and burn, just put your files back and restart
apache.

if you build additional modules as shared then all you have to do is
copy the new .so files into /etc/httpd/modules/php and change the
php.ini file.  Then a simple reload of apache will do the trick.

I fully understand.  Personally, I wait until I've  broken everything,
then I ask.  But hey, whatever works for you. ;-)
