Hi everyone,
I need to install an older version of PHP - 5.2.16, which is not currently available through an official CentOS repo (as far as I can tell).
In order to fulfill our developer's requirements, I've decided to just compile PHP and MySql from the source.
Is there a way to find out what are the usual configure options that are used to compile binaries that are available through yum?
Thank you! Asya

CentOS testing[1][2] repo (for C5) has php-5.2.3 to php-5.2.10, also CentOS 5.6 has php-5.3.x

Be aware php-5.2.x in testing is old and has some security issues, you should consider using php53 from CentOS repo (5.6+) or php52 form IUS Community repo [1]

Using older version may affect your system's security!

This is from CentOS website:
* IUS Community Repo - (See http://iuscommunity.org/ - http://lists.centos.org/pipermail/centos-docs/2009-November/003730.html )
'IUS is a new third party repo for RHEL that provides the "latest upstream versions of PHP, Python, MySQL". It is sponsored by internal work at Rackspace (but officially unsupported).' See their Wiki Client Usage Guidehttp://wiki.iuscommunity.org/Doc/ClientUsageGuideto install the ius-release package to configure the repo.
Caution is suggested in using this repo as it will replace core packages. See also their FAQhttp://iuscommunity.org/faq/ which frankly discusses pros and cons.
I am not sure if I want to use it in a production environment....

Please trim unnecessary material from your responses. Thank you.
IUS is the community repo for RackSpace; this is the same repo and repo components that they use for their own customers in their hosting configurations. This repo is in use by _many_ people, not only RackSpace customers but by the general EL public, including myself.
At this stage of the game I would not consider using any other source for PHP kit, including the mess that is known as php53 that CentOS ships as an optional package (note: problems originate upstream and not with the CentOS project proper). As far as that in c5-testing... that php-5.2 release should, quite frankly, be yanked as it's ridiculously out of date and full of known security issues.
PHP 5.2.16 also has _known_ security issues; you are doing a disservice to your client if you do not point this fact out to them and kindly tell them that 5.2.17 is mandatory. Contrary to popular belief clients are not always right.

John,
Thank you very much for an excellent response. I called our developer and he agreed to go with 5.2.17.
I will be using IUS repo to install it..
Thank you! Asya

Is there a way to find out what are the usual configure options that are used to compile binaries that are available through yum?
php -i | grep configure or check from the srpm...

I would suggest using the SRPMS and rpmbuild after modifying the spec file to reference the php/mysql source tarballs of your choice. if you start with SRPMs that are close to the version you want, it will be that much easier.
this way your custom php/mysql are packaged as RPMs so they will coexist nicely with the rest of the system.
