Using the php-extras 5.1.6 version with php 5.2.10 isn't going to
work. It will produce warning messages every time you execute php.
php-extras includes mcrypt, which is good to have for phpMyAdmin. The
CentOS testing repo has a SRPM for php-extras, which was based off
php-extras in the CentOS extras repo. I version bumped this to 5.2.10
and have been running it on my box without issue.
