For those who need an updated PHP5 version on their Centos 6.2 x86_64 webserver, I have compiled them and put them here for you to download.

First download all the RPM’s you need to a directory (such as /tmp). After downloading, type (in the same directory):

 yum --nogpgcheck install php-*.rpm

Then restart the apache webserver:

service apache restart

Up to version 5.2.17 they can be used for a Centos 5 server installation. Version 5.3.8 and higher are for a Centos 6 server installation.

In the past I compiled these because Centos 5.3 which has PHP 5.1.6 does not work with open_basedir restrictions and symlinks. Version 5.2.9 did.

I have taken the standard Centos 6.2 php srpm files (php-5.3.3-3.el6_1.3.src.rpm) and installed them. After that I updated the php version to 5.3.8 in the php.spec and removed all patches which did not apply cleanly or were already applied to the php5 source.

You can use the src.rpm’s to compile for an i386 machine.

These rpm’s are not tested on Redhat Enterprise Linux but they might just work.

Are you using phpMyAdmin and getting the “mcrypt extension is missing” error? Add $cfg['McryptDisableWarning'] = 'true'; to the config.inc.php file to disable the error message.

Getting the following error when upgrading 5.3 to PHP 5.4?

error: Failed dependencies:
 php(api) = 20090626 is needed by (installed) php-pecl-apc-3.1.3p1-1.2.el6.1.x86_64
 php(zend-abi) = 20090626 is needed by (installed) php-pecl-apc-3.1.3p1-1.2.el6.1.x86_64

Uninstall the PECL rpm and use the PECL command to install (in this case) APC. (pecl install apc)

However, APC 3.1.9 and PHP 5.4 seems to crash apache after a while. Try installing APC from the latest development version:

cd /tmp
svn co http://svn.php.net/repository/pecl/apc/trunk php-apc
cd php-apc
phpize
./configure
make
make install
