You have two options to add support into PHP.

1. Create a php page like:
<?PHP
phpinfo();
?>
This will output all kinds of useful info, but you want to look in the first
table where it says configure command.  This is the command used to build
PHP.  To add a function, include at the end of the command --with-gd or
whatever you want to add.  Then use the new command line WITHOUT the quotes
the info page produces to build a new php binary.

2. You can also use --with-apxa to add additional functions to a PHP build.
Rasmus has talked about this on the PHP list before, but I am not sure on
the exact instructions. I know you run configure and copy somefile to
somewhere.

If you have compiled PHP before the first option will work fine in less then
a half hour, the second in less than that.  The best source for this info is
on the PHP install list.  Search the install list here
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=php-install&r=1&w=2
And the php-general list here:
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=php-general&r=1&w=2

The archives for these lists are huge, but the people are really helpful, so
if you cant find an anwer post a new question.  It will more than likely be
answered pretty quick if you let them know you have searched the archives.
