First off, a little trick: You can get the options used to compile PHP by running:
php -i
We're interested in one of the first lines, the one called Configure Command. In my current setup, I get this output:

You can see from the Configure Command that the command-line used to run the configure script was:
'./configure' '--build=i686-redhat-linux-gnu' '--host=i686-redhat-linux-gnu' '--target=i386-redhat-linux-gnu' '--program-prefix=' '--prefix=/usr' '--exec-prefix=/usr' '--bindir=/usr/bin' '--sbindir=/usr/sbin' '--sysconfdir=/etc' '--datadir=/usr/share' '--includedir=/usr/include' '--libdir=/usr/lib' '--libexecdir=/usr/libexec' '--localstatedir=/var' '--sharedstatedir=/usr/com' '--mandir=/usr/share/man' '--infodir=/usr/share/info' '--cache-file=../config.cache' '--with-libdir=lib' '--with-config-file-path=/etc' '--with-config-file-scan-dir=/etc/php.d' '--disable-debug' '--with-pic' '--disable-rpath' '--without-pear' '--with-bz2' '--with-curl' '--with-exec-dir=/usr/bin' '--with-freetype-dir=/usr' '--with-png-dir=/usr' '--enable-gd-native-ttf' '--without-gdbm' '--with-gettext' '--with-gmp' '--with-iconv' '--with-jpeg-dir=/usr' '--with-openssl' '--without-pspell' '--with-expat-dir=/usr' '--with-pcre-regex=/usr' '--with-zlib' '--with-layout=GNU' '--enable-exif' '--enable-ftp' '--enable-magic-quotes' '--enable-sockets' '--enable-sysvsem' '--enable-sysvshm' '--enable-sysvmsg' '--enable-track-vars' '--enable-trans-sid' '--enable-yp' '--enable-wddx' '--with-kerberos' '--enable-ucd-snmp-hack' '--with-unixODBC=shared,/usr' '--enable-memory-limit' '--enable-shmop' '--enable-calendar' '--enable-dbx' '--enable-dio' '--with-mime-magic=/etc/httpd/conf/magic' '--with-sqlite' '--with-libxml-dir=/usr' '--with-apxs2=/usr/sbin/apxs' '--with-mysql' '--with-gd' '--without-odbc' '--enable-dom' '--disable-dba' '--without-unixODBC' '--enable-pdo'
(If you don't have access to a shell, you can create a .php page and call the phpinfo() function, which will output the same information.)
Now that we have the command-line used to call configure, we can use the usual mantra:
./configure insert options here make make test make installAbout compiling the extensions: it's simpler to compile the extensions directly into the php executable and apache-module. But if you want to do it manually, enter the ext subdirectory within the php source directory, and do the following:
cd $EXTNAME phphize ./configure make cp -v modules/$EXTNAME.so /usr/lib/php/modules/ cd..
Replace $EXTNAME with the name of the extension, and change /usr/lib/php/modules/ to whereever you want to store the extentions.
