If you absolutely HAVE to have 5.2.x, I would recommend these:

(he has a 5.2.17 version, the latest 5.2.x version)
I am pretty sure that they (php.net) are not releasing security updates for the 5.2.x series any more.
Therefore, your best bet is to use either the 5.1.6 version from c5 (Red Hat backports security updates to this, so from a security standpoint it is better than 5.2.17) ... OR ... use the php53 from c5.
Unfortunately it seems that PHP code written for 5.2 won't necessarily run on either 5.1 or 5.3. I'm not a PHP expert myself but my PHP-savvy colleagues and customers unanimously tell me so. So what's a poor web server admin to do? I am doomed to keep around one webserver with PHP 5.1, one with PHP 5.2 and one with PHP 5.3, only hoping one of them will have been deserted by the time PHP 5.4 is released.
