php3

[Rod Roark]

There's a prescribed, rather involved procedure for doing this.  It
includes compiling things in the right order with the right
configuration options.  I've done it for PostgreSQL (which BTW I like
more than MySQL), and you should find the details somewhere in the PHP
installation instructions.

You should make careful, precise notes of exactly what you do -- so you
can better ask for help if it doesn't work, and so you can do it again
later when something needs to be upgraded.
