You probably want fedora-list at redhat.com.  But if you have an RPM for your 
(non-stock) PHP, grab the SRPM, install it, edit the spec file, and 
rebuild with "rpmbuild -bb php.spec".  I'd recommend installing 
rpmdevtools, which will allow you to setup a build tree in your home 
directory so you don't have to build as root.
