How to install PHP 5.3 on RHEL5

Question

I'm working with a RHEL5.1 box that has PHP 5.1.6 installed by default. I need to upgrade PHP to PHP 5.3.x.

Yes, sorry, edited my question to fix the mistake. – PJ McCormick Oct 09 '12 at 23:45 — PJ McCormick, Oct 09 '12 at 23:45

Remove your php* packages and install the corresponding php53* packages -- they've been in the channels since RHEL 5.4. You might need to add the RHEL 5 Server Optional sub-channel to your server's entitlement, if it's not already there.

Thanks. Unfortunately I'm on RHEL 5.1. How else can I get the php53 packages? – PJ McCormick Oct 09 '12 at 23:46
