Personally, I'd recommend compiling from source it is at all possible. You'll likely get improved performance, and it's nice to know you can set things up exactly as you see fit.
Another thing you could try if that seems daunting or you need to install the RPMs onto several machines that all have the same set up (serverS, right?) would be to grab a source RPM and rebuild it on one machine. Basically, a command like this should work: # rpm --rebuild php-x.x.x.src.rpm The RPM should unbundle, configure, and compile, install itself, then place a fresh RPM in /src/redhat/RPMS/something (depending on your architecture). The new RPM will install on any system that has the same setup and libraries as the one you just performed the rebuild on. In some cases, there may be times when you'll need to edit a file or two in the RPM to get it to compile. There should be howtos on this at redhat.com.
