Ovi, I am not that familiar with Red Hat. Don't you have a php-mysql-* rpm on your installation media? If I were you, I would first look in there.
If you want to download the rpm, you have to make sure the RPM is for Red Hat version 8.0. Which is, by the way, quite old. Installing from source is a good idea. Actually, in a production environment connected to the Internet, you will want to install php from source. That's because when a security hole or bug is found, it takes the vendors some time to release updated RPMs. You don't want to keep your server vulnerable during that time. About removing those two dependent RPMs, this is your server, you should know if you have an PHP application that works with IMAP or LDAP. php-imap-* is mostly used by webmails like IMP and squirrelmail. php-ldap-* is rarely used.
