Hi,
It rather depends on how Apache was configured, if it was configured with
mod_so compiled in then you can compile PHP with the --with-apxs option to
get a shared object, which can be loaded into Apache. If not, then you have
no choice but to re-compile Apache from source, and hence you may as well
compile apache directly into the httpd binary.
Try configuring PHP with the --with-apxs=/path/to/apxs/apxs option, if this
doesn't work then you don't have any choice.
