Quick google search will show tons of options concerning configuration and installation. Give this one a go: http://php.net/manual/en/install.php

The easiest way to test you PHP installation is to run a php_info() function. See details and examples here: http://php.net/manual/en/function.phpinfo.php

PHP – How to Change Apache2 PHP Version

Depending on your server, you should be looking at Apache, not PHP.

(For RHEL/CentOS) look at /etc/httpd/conf.d/php.ini

#
# PHP is an HTML-embedded scripting language which attempts to make it
# easy for developers to write dynamically generated web pages.
#
LoadModule php5_module modules/libphp5.so
#
# Causes the PHP interpreter to handle files with a .php extension.
#
AddHandler php5-script .php
AddType text/html .php

You'll see that your PHP module is modules/libphp5.so.

AddHandler php5-script .php tells Apache to run PHP on any file with the extension .php.

If you are using an RPM based OS it's probably easier to uninstall (assuming you can do that) the current version of PHP, and reinstall the version you are looking for.

rpm -qa | grep php

will show you what version of PHP is currently installed.

Linux SUSE – How to install PHP 5.3.x on SUSE

The latest version of SUSE should have PHP 5.3 by default, however maybe you're running an older version?

If so, you'd probably be best off compiling from source. Get the download from here and follow the instructions on how to compile and install.
