> Hi. I did exactly this about a year ago under CentOS 5.6. I just had a
look at my notes:

yum install yum-utils (for package-cleanup)
yum remove php php-common
# These below were installed over a few days, other php packages were
installed later.
# I think php53-common will get installed if you install php53 anyway.
yum install php53 php53-common
yum install php53-mysql
yum install php53-devel
yum install php53-pgsql
yum install php53-odbc
# Not a typo. php-pear will give you the pecl package so you can install
apc.
yum install php-pear
# I needed this for apc
yum install pcre-devel

I don't remember having a problem related to php53 under CentOS 5.6, 5.7,
5.8. I can access all current, popular databases (Si- or NoSQL), all extra
modules (e.g. gd)  that I needed work.
