if you want to build minimal an php+firebird extension only setup
here is how to do it without xml/mysql/sqlite and all that stuff that
you might not need it

tar -jxvf php-5.2.6.tar.bz2
cd php-5.2.6/

./configure --disable-all --with-interbase --prefix=/tmp/foo
--with-apxs2=/usr/bin/apxs
make
make install


/tmp/foo/bin/

./php -m
[PHP Modules]
date
interbase
Reflection
standard

[Zend Modules]


and you can test the minimal php and eats less memory in apache/lighttpd/nginix

-- ls -lah php
