在CentOS上用OpenSSL重新编译PHP

I have upgraded openssl version to 1.02l from 1.0.1e and PHP version from PHP 5.6 to PHP 7.1.8 (PHP is installed using yum)

The problem is, PHP still detects openssl version to 1.0.1e whereas I want it to be updated to latest openssl version installed i.e 1.0.2l

I want to know what are my options here, how do I go about telling PHP to use the latest installed openssl version?

My finding tells me that the only way to do it is by recompiling PHP? (will appreciate if someone can tell me if there is other way) If the only way is by recompiling, I need help on how to go about it? what are the steps involved. From my understanding, here is how I think I have to do.

• Remove PHP version installed from YUM
• Download latest version of PHP from source and unzip in tmp directory
• Compile & Install PHP

Am I missing anything here?

** UPDATE **

Here are the list of php extensions installed using yum

I now want to configure PHP to use this extensions, so far I have comeup with following

./configure --with-openssl --with-openssl-dir=/usr/bin \
    --with-zlib \
    --enable-zip \
    --enable-xmlreader \
    --enable-xmlwriter \
    --enable-opcache \
    --enable-simplexml \
    --with-sqlite3 \
    --with-pdo-sqlite \
    --with-pdo-mysql=mysqlnd \
    --with-mysqli=mysqlnd \
    --with-mysql-sock=/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock \
    --enable-mysqlnd \
    --with-mcrypt \
    --enable-mbstring \
    --enable-intl \
    --with-png-dir \
    --with-jpeg-dir \
    --enable-gd-native-ttf \
    --with-gd \
    --with-curl \
    --with-bz2 \
    --enable-bcmath

I just want to know now, If I need to enable any extension from above list do I use --enable or --with ? for example how do I enable php-xml. Do I only use --enable-php-xml ?
