I did a try with php 5.6.36.

I agree, libphp5.so is not provided if you build like that:

$ ./configure
$ make
$ make install INSTALL_ROOT=/tmp/php
$ ls -R /tmp/php | grep libphp

However, libphp5.so is provided if you build like that:

$ ./configure --with-apxs2=/usr/bin/apxs
$ make
$ make install INSTALL_ROOT=/tmp/php
$ ls -R /tmp/php | grep libphp
libphp5.so

So, you just have to add the --with-apxs2=/usr/bin/apxs option to the configure script.

You can get the help for this option like that:

$ ./configure --help | grep -A 1 with-apxs2=
  --with-apxs2=FILE       Build shared Apache 2.0 Handler module. FILE is the optional
                          pathname to the Apache apxs tool apxs

You can find the location of apxs on your system like that:

$ which apxs
/usr/bin/apxs

If you want to know more about apxs, I recommend this: https://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/en/programs/apxs.html

I realize this is an old question but in the process of upgrading an old MediaWiki site to something new, I needed PHP 5.6 on Fedora 35. After installing remi PHP5.6 with

dnf install http://rpms.remirepo.net/fedora/remi-release-35.rpm

followed by

dnf --enablerepo=remi install php56

I could not find libphp*.so. This will give it to you.

dnf --enablerepo=remi install php56-mod_php

Restart httpd after and phpinfo() will display what you want it to.

You have to install the php-apache module. In Debian for example should be:

sudo apt install php-module

You want to type updatedb and then type locate libphp5.so.

I had this same problem. I had installed php56.x86_64 from remi-safe, but when I installed php.x86_64 from remi-php56, then the library downloaded properly.

First find out the location of apxs (apache auto configuration system):

$ which apxs
/usr/bin/apxs

Find which version of apache you have installed:

$ apachectl -v
Server version: Apache/2.4.7 (Unix)
Server built:   Nov 30 2013 00:31:59

Then you configure the PHP install with the location to your apxs, and your version of apache.

For Apache 2.X, run

$ ./configure --with-apxs2=/usr/bin/apxs

For Apache 1.X, run

$ ./configure --with-apxs=/usr/bin/apxs

Followed by

$ make
$ make install

When it's building, you should see the line:

...
libtool: install: install .libs/libphp5.so /usr/lib/httpd/modules/libphp5.so
...

Try libapache2-mod-php5 package, it'll probably resolve it.

sudo apt-get install libapache2-mod-php5

(assuming you're already after: sudo apt-get install php5)

find / -name libphp*

Should locate it for you. It will be in your apache modules directory, probably: /usr/lib/httpd/modules

you should see the output of what is installing during the 'make install' phase. Look for your file there. Usually the target directory is /usr/local/lib (or /usr/local/lib64), so you can try 'find' utility to look for your file in there.
