Centos has a development rpm made up:

Even if you must compile it yourself(rare) you can pull their source rpm and look at the spec file to see what they needed to do to get it to compile.

The source code is here
http://dev.centos.org/centos/5/testi....el5s2.src.rpm

And as @ lazlow says, it is a very good idea to rebuild
it or at least have a look into the file php.spec, also
to get the seventy ( 70 ! ) configure options right.
