If you have installed it as a DSO, all you need to do is re-compile PHP with the different options you want, install it with make install, then restart Apache to read the new PHP. If you have installed it as a static module, you need again to re-make PHP and install it, but you also need to recompile and install apache. Both methods are well documented.
