Is it recommended to compile PHP extensions manually for specific versions?

Compiling PHP extensions manually for specific versions is generally not recommended unless absolutely necessary. It can be time-consuming, error-prone, and may lead to compatibility issues. It's usually better to use package managers like PECL or Composer to manage PHP extensions. 

// Example code snippet using Composer to manage PHP extensions
{
    "require": {
        "ext-name": "1.0.0"
    }
}
