If you want to install PHP 5.2.x instead of the PHP 1.5.6 offered with default CentOSPlus repo. Please consider installing the utterramblings repo. Setting up this repo is a breeze … just follow these steps
nano -w /etc/yum.repos.d/utterramblings.repo
(I prefer nano as I mentioned earlier in my posts but you can use vi or any other editor that you like)
Then paste the following code in the editor
[utterramblings] name=Jason's Utter Ramblings Repo baseurl=http://www.jasonlitka.com/media/EL$releasever/$basearch/ enabled=1 gpgcheck=1 gpgkey=http://www.jasonlitka.com/media/RPM-GPG-KEY-jlitka
Hit Ctrl+X and it will prompt you to save this file, you need to confirm this with punching Y
Now comes the last step, type the following and everything will be updated 
yum update
Enjoy the latest packages
Note: PHP 5.3.0 is still not available in stable repos because the Zend Optimizer is still in Beta for that particular version.
