I decided the above statement could be more clear.

if you do ./configure --help you will see screens full of information
about all of the different modules you can compile for PHP.

Many of these options can be compiled as "shared" which means when doing
your make in the PHP directory, you will have numerous files that have a
.so extension.  You can find them by doing "find ./ | grep so".

Since you now have PHP installed and working, you can simply recompile
PHP with the desired modules as shared.  Then, instead of doing a make
install, just copy the new .so files into the /etc/httpd/modules/php
directory.  Then add an apropriate line in /etc/httpd/php.ini file to
activate the module.  You'll see how to do that if you just read through
the file.  It's long, but very clear in regard to activating modules.

Hope this helps,
