You're probably stuffed, then.

You're correct -- you're running a 64-bit PHP, so it can't link
with the 32-bit library. The ABIs are, regrettably, totally different.
In theory, you could potentially have an assembly shim that would
convert the 64-bit PHP ABI into the 32-bit one. However, that's
probably "a bit tricky" to do. I certainly wouldn't try writing one
myself.

You could run your PHP (and the associated app stack -- Apache) in
a 32-bit chroot, and the rest of the system in 64 bits.
