Try pecl, if not and you have sources, you can implement a php wrapper relatively easily. I've done it before for small things. Assuming the API is light enough you're talking about a nights worth of Googling, trial and error.

Some keywords to feed into Google: phpize, php extension skeleton, create pecl extension

Thanks Ljubomir,

Just what I needed!

I did not realize that source files would be in rpm files and named src instead of *source* or in a source directory.

I have a pressing need to compile a utility called odbtp into php on my new 64 bit machine with an AMD chip that is currently running CentOS 5.6.

Where can I find the source files for the CentOS recommended versions of php.  I have searched the CentOS and related repository sites and can find php in several places but not the source files.

Thanks in advance.

Looked into SRPMS ? Like: http://mirror.centos.org/centos/5/os/SRPMS/

Well I'm using the REMI repo version of php, and here are some links if it's any good to you.

Smart Package Manager will actually show you the repo URL, if you look under the Channel properties for a particular repo.

http://rpms.famillecollet.com/enterprise/5/remi/i386/

The SRPM's are here, but the php package is not quite in sync with the installed version.

http://rpms.famillecollet.com/SRPMS/php-5.3.6-3.remi.src.rpm

Installed Packages Name : php Arch : i386 Version : 5.3.3 Release : 1.el5.remi Size : 3.4 M Repo : installed Summary : The PHP HTML-embedded scripting language. : (PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor) URL : http://www.php.net/ License : PHP Description: PHP is an HTML-embedded scripting language.
