Yum update php to 5.2.x on CentOS

The current php version with CentOS is 5.1.6. Even epel repository’s php is 5.1.6. I am disappointed with epel slow up-to-date, but I found three 3rd party repositories to update php. Installation of these repositories are slightly diffferent.

• remi repo has php 5.2.9. To install, just run

  rpm -Uvh http://rpms.famillecollet.com/enterprise/5/remi/x86_64/remi-release-5-7.el5.remi.noarch.rpm

• atomic repo has php 5.2.9. To install, download this script and run it

  wget http://www.atomicorp.com/installers/atomic.sh

• james’ utterramblings repo has php 5.2.6. To install, import GPG key first

  rpm --import http://www.jasonlitka.com/media/RPM-GPG-KEY-jlitka

  create a repo file manually with the following content

  [utterramblings]
name=Jason's Utter Ramblings Repo
baseurl=http://www.jasonlitka.com/media/EL$releasever/$basearch/
enabled=1
gpgcheck=1
