This isn't really a Xapian-specific problem - it's a PHP version
mismatch.

The error means the PHP bindings you're trying to use were built for an
older version of PHP.  The PHP developers make binary-incompatible
changes to the module API sometimes.

You're either going to need to install that older PHP version (one which
has "module API=20050922" - a quick poke in google suggests that means
PHP 5.1.x) or rebuild the bindings against the version of PHP you have
installed.
