For the 2 threads going on about PHP 5.2/5.3... CentOS tracks upstream whose version is... php-5.1.6-23.2.el5_3 If you want something newer, you have to go off the beaten path. try this...(as root) wget http://dev.centos.org/centos/5/CentOS-Testing.repo mv CentOS-Testing.repo /etc/yum.repos.d yum --enablerepo=c5-testing check-update and this would allow to update to version 5.2.9-2.el5.centos if you then... yum --enablerepo=c5-testing update php and if enough people actually convinced the developers that 5.2.9-2.el5.centos were feasible, then they would probably move it into the 'Extras' repository.
