It's actually VERY simple.
rpm -e php-imap
rpm -e php-ldap
rpm -e php-pgsql
rpm -e php-manual
rpm -e php
wget http://www.mysql.com/Downloads/MySQL-3.22/MySQL-3.22.27-1.src.rpm
wget ftp://ftp.redhat.com/pub/redhat/redhat-6.1/SRPMS/SRPMS/php-3.0.12-6.src.rpm
rpm --rebuild MySQL-3.22.27-1.src.rpm
rpm -i (or -Uvh) the resulting mysql RPMs (in /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/$(ARCH) )
rpm -i php-3.0.12-6.src.rpm
cd /usr/src/redhat/SPECS
(This part assumes you've installed openldap and openldap-devel)
I modified the .spec file to get rid of pgsql and replace it with mysql.
Attached to this email is a diff you should be able to apply with:
cd /usr/src/redhat/SPECS ; patch < php.spec.diff
Then, rpm -ba php.spec, and install the resulting RPMs.

MySQL, at least in the more useful version(s) are not freely distributable.
You need to download it. It's not like it's hard or anything though. While
it's a minor inconvenience, it's not like they're putting deliberate
roadblocks in front of you!
If you need to do an SSL web server, instead of the stock apache, get the
apache-mod_ssl SRPM from ftp.replay.com.
wget ftp://ftp.replay.com/pub/crypto/redhat/SRPMS/apache-mod_ssl-1.3.6.2.3.0-0.src.rpm
If you're in the US, you'll need to satisfy the RSA license. You can do that
by purchasing the RH secure server, or some other server that gives you a
license to use the RSA code. I can't wait until September of next year,
when we won't have to abide by that stupid rule any longer... If you go
the mod_ssl route, you'll also need to install the OpenSSL code, obtainable
from the same directory as the apache-mod_ssl above...
