Check this page.  It has some Red Hat notes that may be helpful:
http://us.php.net/manual/en/install.unix.php

I installed default apache of Centos 5.4 - x64
If I need reinstall Apache from source ?
Then also Install PHP from source?
(it really complex for me)

I following the guide, compile well, make well, install well, and: php -v show version 5.3
- But when I restart apache, it has error:
Starting httpd: httpd: Syntax error on line 206 of /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf: Cannot load /usr/lib64/httpd/modules/libphp5.so into server: /usr/lib64/httpd/modules/libphp5.so: undefined symbol: zend_ini_boolean_displayer_cb
- And when I install php-gd, php-devel, it has error like that:
yum install php-gd
......

 You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
 You could try running: package-cleanup --problems
                        package-cleanup --dupes
                        rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest
The program package-cleanup is found in the yum-utils package.

How can I resolve this problem?

So, I think there is cofusion between 5.3.1 and 5.1.6 here?
And If will this cause any errors  in my system in the future?

that happens because you mix yum with a compiled version of php. what you need to do is to remove any php package (including extensions) with yum remove and then recompile php. the configure command i gave also compiles in the usual extensions that you may need. but the configure is for php 5.2.x so I'm not sure if it will work ok with 5.3. but in any case, first remove all extensions and then compile php again and see if it runs ok for what you need.

Yes, It's clear. It may be last question:
But how when I want to add more Module later?
For example, if now I not install php-mysql or php-gd, and in the future, I want to install it.

Will I need to recompile with option of mysql or php-gd?

Thank you!!

yes, you need to recompile php. that's the easiest way

Thank you very much!!!

(I rewite command here, if any want need help)
