You should be able to find all the rpm files you need on google by
searching through various sites like rpmfind.net, or you can easily
compile it for yourself if you have the package dependencies. RHEL
tends to have slightly older versions that are proven stable, so look
for Fedora versions, as they should run fine on your SL system.
You can also try using a YUM repository for Fedora, and doing a yum
install php, which should solve all your package dependencies for you.

It is easy to install a webserver with SL, but more and more we are
having trouble because the versions that come with either SL4.4
(PHP 4.3.9) or SL5.0 (PHP5.1.6) are not recent enough to use
current versions of third party software (for example Mapserver
needs PHP 4.4.6 or 5.2.1). I've installed LAMP manually, but that
was at home, not for a production environment. I would like to keep
on using SL, the apache and mysql that comes with it are ok too,
but what is the best means to install a more recent version of PHP
(5.2.1 or maybe even the 5.2.3) and how do you update/maintain it ?
With PHP I am not only referring to the PHP module, but also to the
PHP-SOAP,
PHP-PEAR, PHP-mbstring, PHP-mcrypt, ...
