Hi,

If the version of php you need is not available in rhn you could use
some 3rd party repos like rpmforge, ATrpms or the Remi Collet Repository
that is specially made for mysql 5.1 and php5.2.9 under EL5.

But you should know that these repositories are not provided nor
supported by RedHat and really could mess up your whole installation if
you don´t know what your´re doing.

Its possible to set the Remi-Repo as a special php installation/update
tree for yum.


install the needed repo-files via

#wget
http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/epel/5/i386/epel-release-5-2.noarch.rpm
#wget http://rpms.famillecollet.com/enterprise/remi-release-5.rpm
#rpm -Uvh remi-release-5*.rpm epel-release-5*.rpm

check if the new repo (remi.repo) is available under /etc/yum.repos.d/

search for the new php packages as a test

#yum --enablerepo=remi search php

yum should find all php related packages that are available on the
remi-repo.

now, install what you need.

for php

#yum --enablerepo=remi install php

you should get

press [y] and your php engine will be updated to 5.2.9.

everytime you want to install something from the remi-repositorie you
have to add the enablerepo-option. Otherwise the danger of totally mixed
up packages is far too big.

You could also brows the repo under
http://rpms.famillecollet.com/enterprise/5

so long....
