No, I didn't.  Please don't yell if you want help, especially on something you
can learn how to do by reading documentation or trying on your own.

You should be able to rely on apxs to inform php as where to put its resulting
module and which httpd.conf to modify.

As the other poster mentioned, you could probably look at the dependancies for
the RH PHP src.rpm's and ensure those are installed.  I'd probably just try
a build, see what failed, fixed, repeat.  I think there's a pretty good chance
you'll get close the first time...
