In my system, have CentOS 5 and PHP 5.1.6. I tried to update php into version up(5.3)
yum update php result: No Packages marked for Update Anyone have any suggestions? Thanks!
- 1You might not want to do this. If you bodge 5.3.x and assorted dependancies into C5, you will end up with something which isn't a pure C5 system -- and if it breaks, you get to keep all the pieces. If this is something you think you are going to live with for a while, you might want to use a suitable Fedora to play with while waiting for C6 to come out.David Mackintosh– David Mackintosh2011-01-07 03:46:52 +00:00Commented Jan 7, 2011 at 3:46

For CentOS Version 4,
wget http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/epel/4/i386/epel-release-4-10.noarch.rpm wget http://rpms.famillecollet.com/el4.i386/remi-release-4-7.el4.remi.noarch.rpm rpm -Uvh remi-release-4*.rpm epel-release-4*.rpm cd /etc/yum.repos.d wget http://rpms.famillecollet.com/remi-enterprise.repo rpm --import http://rpms.famillecollet.com/RPM-GPG-KEY-remi yum --enablerepo=remi list php php.i386 5.3.2-1.el4.remi yum --enablerepo=remi update php I upgraded PHP 5.3.4 in two different systems( CentOS 5.4 & 4.7 ) successfully.
- Thanks, this worked for me where some of the others complained about huge lists of missing dependencies such as libc6 etc.drew010– drew0102013-02-22 16:58:45 +00:00Commented Feb 22, 2013 at 16:58
I tried the following Option to update PHP 5.3.4 successfully !!
For CentOS 5.4
rpm --import http://mirror.centos.org/centos/RPM-GPG-KEY-CentOS-5 webtatic RPM Install
rpm -Uvh http://repo.webtatic.com/yum/centos/5/latest.rpm PHP Install
yum --enablerepo=webtatic install php PHP Update
yum --enablerepo=webtatic update php 
- Note, Webtatic will be EOLing PHP 5.3 in a few weeks. This answer will no longer be relevant at that point, and stongly suggest PHP 5.5+ is used insteadAndy– Andy2015-09-05 19:17:35 +00:00Commented Sep 5, 2015 at 19:17
By sheer coincidence I have just written this up for another question. I know this seems to be updating mysql, but it should force php to update and avoid a dependency issue. If php doesn't install by the time you have followed all the steps below, yum remove php and then run: yum --enablerepo=remi install php (and anything else you need)
Follow at your own risk etc:
NB: for 64-bit CentOS For 32-bit, leave off the .x86_64 suffixes
yum remove mysql mysql-server su -c 'rpm -Uvh http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/epel/5/i386/epel-release-5-4.noarch.rpm' wget http://rpms.famillecollet.com/enterprise/remi-release-5.rpm rpm -Uvh remi-release-5*.rpm yum --enablerepo=remi install mysql.x86_64 mysql-server.x86_64 You might need to tack on any extras you need to the last yum command - eg: php-mysql php-devel php-pdo
in CentOS 5.6 (and others, presumably), you can:
yum install php53 if that gives you trouble, you may first have to
yum erase php5
