trying a yum update on mysql, postgres or php forces the others to
install. is that really wanted ??
      
Here is some testing on a system with nothing else installed:
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
[root@i386 ~]# yum --enablerepo=centosplus install php

 curl                    i386       7.12.1-8.rhel4   base              231 k
    

Why would php need curl ?

  
Because it has a curl based library built in to the core:

http://php.net/curl

RedHat could have spun this off into a php-curl RPM package I guess but they chose not to with php4 and I don't think php5 in RHEL5 will either...
