A CMS package is telling me that I need PHP 5.2x, however yum
update says that I am fully up to date.
Is there a "safe" way to upgrade PHP to 5.2x?

Take a look at the IUS package repo:
http://iuscommunity.org/pages/About.html
It's the one most people use to get PHP updates. Stay away from the
official "php53" packages distributed with CentOS, as they don't
integrate well with many packages looking for php (it does not
"provide" the "php" capability)

this is valid only if the cms is packaged.
@Todd: Just to clarify - the functionality and reliability
of php53 is not restricted/"faulty" or what ever ...

rpm -q --all | grep php
save the list of php packages
stop httpd
save /etc/php.ini, even if is renamed by rpm, but better have another copy,
just in case
remove all php packages
yum install php53
and then install the php53 packages you previously had
apply the customizations of /etc/php.ini including the correct timezone (some
php applications may complain if it is not set)
start httpd
I did this on 20+ servers when php53 was available. No problem at all.

Luigi -
I assume that after saving the php.ini I would
yum remove php
yum install php53
However, I am not sure what you mean by
and then install the php53 packages you previously had
I have been running PHP as it came with Centos 5.
Another question has to do with the GD library. How can I tell
if it is installed *or* is it automatically part of php35?
Oh yes...if there is a problem with php35, are there any problems
in reinstalling php 5.1?
Many thanks

Actually, it is. The EL php53 package does not "Provide: php" so any
other package depending on that being present will fail to install
without force. This may or may not be a show-stopper in any particular
environment. There is also no php-mcrypt available in the base CentOS
updates and this is a matter that upstream will not fix; it is, however,
available from EPEL for those that need it. There used to be a number
of other issues with the base php53 packages as supplied by TUV but
many, if not most, of these have been since resolved. I no longer track
the issues as I've long since moved to IUS for php requirements.
As Brian pointed out earlier IUS is the go-to source for php53 / php54
packages that work. Please see:
for more information. There is also a yum-plugin-replace add-on from
IUS that will permit single transaction migration from stock php
packages to the IUS provided php53u packages. Information is available
at the IUS website.

Thats exactly what Leon said. And also that only applies to
There is nothing wrong with the php53 rpms provided in the distro - and
I would argue they are better in that they guarantee the api/abi for
another 6 odd years. I suspect the app being deployed will move along
sooner.

php
php-cli
php-gd
php-mysql
you should yum install this packages:
php53
php53-cli
php53-gd
php53-mysql

I can answer your question: it is not included in php53 package; you have to
install php53-gd

If everithing fails, just remove the php53 packages, yum install the php
packages you removed and restore /etc/php.ini
