It wants the PHP source code. What I usually do is grab a copy of the 
source and extract it, then ./configure it the same as my existing 
installation. Ta-da, a usable source with the same configuration and all.

Use phpinfo() to find out what ./configure arguments were used 
originally, and trim out those annoying ' characters. Easy. :)
