Try this
* Extraction: * tar -jxvf php-5.3.2.tar.bz2
where php-5.3.2.tar.bz2 is the filename you downloaded.
Check to the file extension whether it is .bz2
If not use
tar --help
which provides the extraction options.
Then you need to configure it.For that
* configuration: * ./configure --prefix==/usr/local/php
I hope this works.Try and see
