A simple page containing nothing but <? phpinfo();?> will return all the information you need about the modules compiled into PHP. So you may not have to do anything more.
There are source rpm's available, but I'm suggesting an alternate route. If you have access and rights on the server, remove the RPM versions, get the source and compile it yourself. It is not difficult, and there is a well known guide called the "Soothingly Seamless Installation of Linux, Apache MySQL and PHP". A search on Google for "Soothingly Seamless" will turn it up. The guide has instructions on where to get the source. Why compile these yourself? First of all they are all programs which have been installed, from source, by hundreds of thousands of people. If you've never done it, they are good ones to start with, as just about all of the quirks are worked out. It is a valuable learning experience. Second, you know exactly what you will include or exclude from your software. Third, you can locate the programs exactly where you want them. Your decision on where to locate them is no more or no less arbitrary than the maintainers of the .rpm's.
