You can get PHP5 RPMs from CentOS project, however they will replace 
RHEL4 PHP package.  You can't have both installed at the same time.

Make sure you read and understand the Readme.txt file, and do not bug 
Red Hat support if something doesn't work on systems where you install 
those RPMs.

Another solution would be to fetch PHP5 SRPM from Fedora Core 4 and 
rebuild it yourself on RHEL4.  However, that one will also replace PHP4 
packages.
