I have a question on the same lines. I have installed PHP from source many times before. however I have have never had to recompile it. What do i do after the ./configure ?? do i still do the make then make install?

No documentation that i have found tells me that. They all stop at the run ./configure whatever.

If that is all i do then how do i implement the changes??

Yes you need to do 'make' and 'make install'.
The source should have a file called INSTALL that explains all the steps involved.
