I'm not sure what the problem is here. I asked a simple question. If I did not give enough or gave the the wrong information, a simple message to that end would have been good. I don't have a bunch of letters behind my name. I am almost entirely self taught. I started with Linux in 1995 on an old slackware server a very knowledgeable man built for me and was my remote lifeline for the first couple of years. Since then I have built and ran probably 15 Internet servers ranging from old slackware stuff to Redhat. I just retired my last Redhat 9 server a while ago. I currently have in service Gentoo, Fedora, CentOS and a Cacti Monitoring server that I can't remember the flavor of Linux they built it on. When I get a problem I don't know what to do, I Google or go to one of my many bookmarked sites. Or, I ask someone if all else fails.
So, I was designing a Web Site and one of the scripts didn't work. Looking at the error logs and googling the error led me to determine my PHP needed an upgrade and even listed a painless way to do it. However, it didn't work because of a missing dependency. I had not found the answer about to how to fix the dependency problem and, I had joined this list about a week ago. I have been very impressed with the quality of most of the posts so I thought I would ask here.
I am not really interested if the version of PHP came bundled with 4.8 or not. It seems it didn't. I probably upgraded it to fix another error I was getting. I thought I had given all the relative information with my first question. Sorry for bothering you.

Quite an irrelevant point Kai, its shipped in the centosplus repo[1] and this is the centos list, making this the perfect place to bring up the issue.
Karanbir, you are in the wrong thread. I didn't question the location for the topic, I questioned the quality of information.

Still, nobody knows (probably including yourself) to *which* php packages you are upgrading. They are not from centos and not from centosplus. Your problems stems from the fact that you are upgrading to packages that require a certain dependency that other php packages normally do not require. It's like buying a car that is fueled with Diesel. I'm pretty sure you would take utmost care to fuel only Diesel in the future. You cannot just install repo after repo and not care about it.
I suggest you read this *very* carefully:
