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.
The Rackspace IUS repo provides PHP 5.2 packages. See docs how to use it:

I am running their php 5.2 on one of my centos5 servers without no probs. I upgraded from the php in the testing repo.
Best, Peter
