You should ask a new question instead of editing an old one so it is completely different. Especially one that has received an answer and closed as a duplicate. — llogan, Nov 22 '16 at 18:25

Install the yasm assembler

sudo apt-get install yasm

Configure the build. You can add your own options here.

./configure

Build and install.

make -j9
sudo make install

EDIT: I'm not familiar with ffmpeg and php because I mainly use the shared libraries with my own C++ code. However, there is some information about using it from web pages here -> https://trac.ffmpeg.org/wiki/PHP
