how to upgrade PHP to 5.2.5?

[dealspiggy]

I downloaed the PHP 5.2.5 RPM package from this post http://www.jasonlitka.com/2007/11/16...el-and-centos/ by Jason.

However, when I type in #yum upgrade php-5.2.5-jason.2.src.rpm, it first processes dependency. The result shows an error saying:

Error: Missing Dependency: freetds-devel is needed by package php

I then tried yum install freetds-devel, it showed 'parsing,.....nothing to do'. I am wondering how to fix this dependency problem.

I am now using CentOS 5 with PHP 5.1.6, MySQL5 and Apache, trying to upgrade my PHP to 5.2.5.

You help is greatly appreciated

Try

rpm- ivh http://www.jasonlitka.com/media/files/SRPMS/php-5.2.5-jason.2.src.rpm

Afterwards you must build new RPMS from this source RPM.
