Adding modules into PHP

Is there any way to add modules into PHP without recompiling it?? I need to add the GB module (I think thats what its called), the one that can create GIF images. If I can't will I have to recompile it and apache and MySQL or just PHP??

from what i know, yes you will gave to recompile...and for php that means apache too because they are the two that are linked. mysql could care less

You don't need to recompile apache.
Try to recompile only php, be sure you have apxs and gd is installed.
./configure --with-apxs=/usr/local/apache/bin/apxs
--with-config-file-path=/usr/local/apache/etc
--with-mysql
--with-gd
