See here:

http://wiki.centos.org/Repositories/CentOSPlus

Basically you just enable the centosplus repo, add include=php* mysql*
under the centosplus repo in /etc/yum.repos.d/CentOS-Base.repo and add
exclude=php* mysql* to the base and updates repos. Then do a yum
upgrade and you should be in business.

If you also upgrade mysql to v.5 with centosplus don't forget to run
the 'mysql_upgrade' command after doing the yum upgrade.

Devin
