Installing it from a package gives you a fairly standard PHP
installation. For my distribution, it is even possible to add extensions
using packages. However, if you want the latest version, extension for
which no packages exists, or some other option which does not come with
the package, you have to compile PHP yourself. Compiling PHP is fairly
easy, but takes several minutes. Installing all the libraries for the
extensions can be hard.
In some cases, it is a good idea to make your own package, so that the
packaging system knows PHP is installed and does not bug you with
dependencies.
