PHP is not hard to build from source (though on Solaris its a bitch 
because the Solaris build system is old and retarded). It really 
depends on what extensions you want enabled. The libraries those 
extensions depend on need to be installed first before you configure and 
build PHP. So basically you will have to do the dependency checking first.

I used to do this on older-no-longer-supported RH boxes.
