On CentOS as of this post, there are no simple 'yum' upgrades to update your PHP 5.1.6 to PHP 5.2.6
The instructions here will show you one possible way you can do this.
First checkout this site
http://www.jasonlitka.com
http://www.jasonlitka.com/yum-repository/
This site has the repositories that will upgrade your PHP 5.1 to 5.2
nano -w /etc/yum.repos.d/utterramblings.repo
... and then paste the following into the editor:
[utterramblings]
name=Jason's Utter Ramblings Repo
baseurl=http://www.jasonlitka.com/media/EL$releasever/$basearch/
enabled=1
gpgcheck=1
gpgkey=http://www.jasonlitka.com/media/RPM-GPG-KEY-jlitka
NOTE: If the above URL returns a 404 then try hard-coding $releasever to your EL version ('EL4' or 'EL5') and the $basearch to whatever is appropriate ('i386' or 'x86_64').
For those new to linux, the nano command is for a linux editor, and once you type the 6 lines, press ctrl O to write the file and press enter to save to the file name given.
Once you've taken care of the above, you'll be able to easily upgrade with a simple 'up2date -u' or 'yum update'.
If you get dependency errors, if you do 'yum update', you might want to try just the php update by trying 'yum - y php update'.
Updating:
php x86_64 5.2.6-jason.1 utterramblings 3.9 M
php-cli x86_64 5.2.6-jason.1 utterramblings 2.7 M
php-common x86_64 5.2.6-jason.1 utterramblings 494 k
Updating for dependencies:
php-devel x86_64 5.2.6-jason.1 utterramblings 568 k
php-gd x86_64 5.2.6-jason.1 utterramblings 342 k
php-imap x86_64 5.2.6-jason.1 utterramblings 112 k
php-ldap x86_64 5.2.6-jason.1 utterramblings 61 k
php-mbstring x86_64 5.2.6-jason.1 utterramblings 1.3 M
php-mysql x86_64 5.2.6-jason.1 utterramblings 275 k
php-odbc x86_64 5.2.6-jason.1 utterramblings 120 k
php-pdo x86_64 5.2.6-jason.1 utterramblings 166 k
php-xml x86_64 5.2.6-jason.1 utterramblings 336 k
php-xmlrpc x86_64 5.2.6-jason.1 utterramblings 135 k
after the initial php and its dependencies are updated you can update the rest.
#yum –y update –gets errors to install the list below…so just yum install each separately.
eg: #yum -y apr apr-util update
Updating:
apr x86_64 1.2.12-2.jason.1 utterramblings 266 k
apr-util x86_64 1.2.12-5.jason.1 utterramblings 166 k
ed x86_64 0.2-39.el5_2 updates 49 k
httpd x86_64 2.2.8-jason.3 utterramblings 2.6 M
mod_perl x86_64 2.0.3-14.jason.1 utterramblings 5.5 M
mysql x86_64 5.0.58-jason.2 utterramblings 6.5 M
mysql-devel x86_64 5.0.58-jason.2 utterramblings 2.9 M
mysql-server x86_64 5.0.58-jason.2 utterramblings 11 M
pcre x86_64 7.6-jason.1 utterramblings 592 k
php-pear noarch 1:1.6.2-1.jason.1 utterramblings 418 k
Ok, just found this new option to upgrade to php 5.2
Virtualmin repositories
That repository URLs are:
i386: http://software.virtualmin.com/bleed/centos/5/i386/
x86_64: http://software.virtualmin.com/bleed/centos/5/x86_64/
There is also a release package to automatically configure yum to use these repositories, which can be installed with the following command:
rpm -ivh http://software.virtualmin.com/bleed/centos/5/i386/virtualmin-bleed-release-1.0-1.rhel.noarch.rpm
rpm -ivh http://software.virtualmin.com/bleed/centos/5/x86_64/virtualmin-bleed-release-1.0-1.rhel.noarch.rpm
you will need to install the virtualmin key first. Just type in the code below at command line.
#rpm --import http://software.virtualmin.com/lib/RPM-GPG-KEY-virtualmin
