Greetings
In the attempt to upgrade the technology stack on CentOS 5 from stock PHP to PHP53 I have made some progress.
Much thanks to all respondents, especially Jesus.
One repository that provides a complete set of builds and seems to fulfill both PHP and PHP53 requirements is the IUS one: http://iuscommunity.org/ Repos here: http://dl.iuscommunity.org/pub/ius/stable/Redhat/5/i386/repoview/
One reference to several discussions covering this topic are available here: https://www.centos.org/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?topic_id=30881
Using the IUS PHP53 rpms allows for the rpm re-installation of drupal6, phpmyadmin, and squirrelmail.
However, with Squirrelmail there is one critical issue. Via one of its plugins, Squirellmail provides an html email editor. With the upgrade to PHP53, the editor continues to work. However, the html email that is composed using this functionality is received empty.
Reverting back to the original CentOS PHP packages re-enables this functionality.
Is there a solution to this issue?
Much thanks.
One (secondary) thing.
In order to support yum updates from the IUS repository, how do I load the appropriate file?
Much thanks.

better go talk to the IUS community people for issues pertinent to their repos, I am sure they would want to know how its broken
Squirellmail provides an html email editor. With the upgrade to
PHP53, the editor continues to work. However, the html email that is composed using this functionality is received empty.
Hi Max. Testing squirrelmail with php53 (epel) from CentOS 5.8: I just installed the html editor plugin from squirrelmail (this one from 2005: http://squirrelmail.org/plugin_view.php?id=209), I activated it, however I don't see how I could test it, I don't see the usual html buttons, under "options" I checked some probable boxes but to no avail. How do you know the plugin is activated? Could you send me a screenshot? It has been a very long day here, tomorrow night I can make some other tests. Regards, Jesus

Hi Max. Confirmed: The 2005 html editor plugin for Squirrelmail works under CentOS 5,8, php53 from the base (I think to remember some modules were from epel) repository. The problem, at least one of them, seems to be that the plugin does not recognize neither WebKit based browsers (iMac's Safari, iPad's Safari, Win7-64 Chrome) nor Gecko-ones (Win7-64 Firefox). In my Internet Explorer 9 it works, you can see immediately the wysiwyg buttons from some fsck editor it brings, I was able to send a html mail with IE that was recognized and displayed as such in Chrome. It seems to be there is a workaround for those browsers as well: http://old.nabble.com/HTML-Mail-Plugin-td28927479.html Regards, Jesus
