Okay, thanks to Marks help I am posting the Fix to this problem.

Here are the files that needed to be replaced from a working XTR:

/usr/lib/apache/libphp4.so
/usr/lib/apache/php/cce.so
/usr/lib/apache/php/i18n.so
/usr/lib/apache/php/pgsql.so

Since the php.ini file for the UI is not in the default php location, it
should not have been overwritten (and was not in my case).  That location is
/etc/admserv

I have created an alternate libphp4_http.so to use on the regular server
that runs on port 80.   Just have to specify that in the httpd.conf file.

Future reference:  Don't "make install" any more php upgrades...   :-)
