I *always* say compile a copy of PHP.  Distributions that contain it never
work 100% when they need more than just what is compiled in.  I find
knuckling down and compiling PHP is usually relatively easy and more often
than not, works 100%.

There are instructions for doing this on the Horde FAQ.  Assuming your
building your own PHP.
