We do not support source installs. You can find httpd24u* and php56u* packages in the IUS Community repo, prebuilt by reputable people - the repo is run by people who work for Rackspace although it's not an official Rackspace project.

Are you even sure that mysqli works on php56? If I remember correctly, it is being or has been deprecated in favour of mysqlnd.
