You have PHP 5.1.6 installed on CentOS 5.6 and want to update to PHP 5.3 like this:

Solution

Enable the Epel and IUS repositories on your system.

For 64bit systems, you can find the correct packages here: http://dl.iuscommunity.org/pub/ius/stable/Redhat/5/x86_64/

For 32bit systems, the correct packages are here: http://dl.iuscommunity.org/pub/ius/stable/Redhat/5/i386/

After you have found out the correct links for the Epel and IUS rpm packages, you can install them like this:

rpm -Uvh http://dl.iuscommunity.org/pub/ius/stable/Redhat/5/x86_64/epel-release-5-4.noarch.rpm
 rpm -Uvh http://dl.iuscommunity.org/pub/ius/stable/Redhat/5/x86_64/ius-release-1.0-8.ius.el5.noarch.rpm

Then import the GPG keys for both repositories:

rpm --import /etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-EPEL
 rpm --import /etc/pki/rpm-gpg/IUS-COMMUNITY-GPG-KEY

Install the yum-plugin-replace package:.

yum install yum-plugin-replace

You can now replace your PHP 5.1.6 packages with the PHP 5.3 packages from IUS like this:

yum replace php --replace-with php53u

You can search for further php53u packages like this:

yum search php53u

If you find php53u packages that you'd also like to install, pick them from the search result list and install them as follows:

yum install php53u-pear php53u php53u-cli php53u-common php53u-devel php53u-gd php53u-mbstring php53u-mcrypt php53u-mysql php53u-pdo php53u-soap php53u-xml php53u-xmlrpc php53u-bcmath php53u-pecl-apc php53u-pecl-memcache php53u-snmp

Check your PHP version afterwards - it should display 5.3:

php -v

[[email protected] ~]# php -v
 PHP 5.3.6 (cli) (built: Aug 11 2011 23:42:10)
 Copyright (c) 1997-2011 The PHP Group
 Zend Engine v2.3.0, Copyright (c) 1998-2011 Zend Technologies
 [[email protected] ~]#

Finally restart your web server. For Apache, this can be done as follows:

/etc/init.d/httpd restart

I was also facing same kind of problem, and I got the problem.

I have just checked that I have installed php through yum which has installed php5.1.6, because of which when I was trying to install php53-gd, it was conflicting with the php-common. I have checked with the below command for install php modules:
rpm -qa | grep -i php
and after that I have removed all the modules using yum remove, and then installed php53-gd, which worked like a charm for me.
below are the commands, I have used

rpm -qa | grep -i php
yum remove php
yum remove php-cli
yum remove php-pdo
yum remove php-common
yum install php53-gd

This installed gd.so in /usr/lib64/php/modules/gd.so, i have just modiflied the php.ini file with enabling gd by adding below line below the line : ;extension=php_gd2.dll

extension=/usr/lib64/php/modules/gd.so

Finally I restarted the apache and it works for me.

AWESOME GUIDE! I kept struggling with this and your guide got me running.

The one difference was that php53 is php55w on my system, not u.

Failed dependencies: epel-release = 5 is needed by ius-release-1.0-14.ius.el5.noarch

package epel-release-6-8.noarch is installed

What IUS do I need?

Also: our problem is we run php-fpm55, but somehow php-common libraries are at 5.3: what to do? dont think I can just yum erase 5.3 and yum install 5.5 common
