In general phpfarm is working well in case you need multiple php environment in single machine. Special case is for PHP 5.2.17 (latest version of 5.2 generation), I got this error when compile :
opt/phpfarm/src/php-5.2.17/ext/dom/node.c: In function ‘zim_domnode_getNodePath’:
/opt/phpfarm/src/php-5.2.17/ext/dom/node.c:2002:8: warning: pointer targets in assignment differ in signedness [-Wpointer-sign]
value = xmlGetNodePath(nodep);
^
make: *** [ext/dom/node.lo] Error 1
make failed.
Google suggest me for apply patch.
$cd php-5.2.17
$sudo curl -o php-5.2.17.patch https://mail.gnome.org/archives/xml/2012-August/txtbgxGXAvz4N.txt

$cd ..
$ sudo ./compile.sh 5.2.17
and finally get this :
Build complete.
Don’t forget to run ‘make test’.
