Installation
[root@vps ~]# cd /usr/local/src/
Download one of the following PHP packages and extract the packges as per the selected packages.
[root@vps src]# wget http://in1.php.net/distributions/php-5.2.17.tar.gz
or
[root@vps src]# wget http://in1.php.net/distributions/php-5.3.24.tar.gz
or
[root@vps src]# wget http://in1.php.net/distributions/php-5.4.14.tar.gz
[root@vps src]# tar -xzf php-5.2.17.tar.gz
[root@vps src]# cd php-5.2.17
Create a script, configure.sh with the following contents. I have tested the following script with all the versions of PHP and it is working fine for me.

[root@vps php-5.2.17]# chmod +x configure.sh
[root@vps php-5.2.17]# sh configure.sh
[root@vps php-5.2.17]# make
[root@vps php-5.2.17]# make install
Once the installation completed, create the following link to use the php command directly in terminal.
[root@vps ~]# ln -s /usr/local/php/bin/php /usr/bin/php
Once you done the above steps, check the version of PHP using the following command
[root@vps ~]# php -v
The above compilation command will enable the following modules. You can remove unwanted php modules from the compilation step. You may encounter errors while the compilation. All the errors which i got is added in the 'Possible Error' section at the end of this article. Please check there if you encountered an error during complilation.

Errors in Make
Error:
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lltdl
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make: *** [libphp5.la] Error 1
Solution:
Here's what you need to do to fix this issue,
1.Verify that the libtool and libtool-ltdl packages are installed.
[root@vps php-5.2.17]# yum install libtool-ltdl.x86_64 libtool.x86_64 -y
2.Symlink libltdl.so to libltdl.so.x.x.x
PHP looks for the libltdl library only at (for x64 at least) /usr/lib64/libltdl.so. The symlink to this file is not included in the libtool packages,you'll have to make it yourself
[root@vps php-5.2.17]# cd /usr/lib64
[root@vps lib64]# ln -s libltdl.so.3.1.4 libltdl.so
Try once again...
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Error:
/usr/local/imap-2007f/lib/libc-client.a: could not read symbols: Bad value
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make: *** [libphp5.la] Error 1
Solution:
Install imap using the script described in the following url.
