PHP 5.3.3 is available in standard repo (php53* packages)

No other repo provides 5.2 which is EOL an unmaintained.

The php 5.2 packages were deliberately withdrawn from the CentOS "testing" repo because they were too old and had too many security vulnerabilities built-in! You should not use 5.2 under any circumstances.
The future appears to be RHEL or Debian. I think I'm going Debian.

CentOS 5 and 6 are deadest, do not use them.

thanks for the response, however the reason why I need a lower version of the php is because, I have an old system and this one is running on Microsoft SQL server and according to the php site mssql is deprecated on php 5.3.x,. that' why if I upgraded it to the later version of the php and use Microsoft SQL Server Driver for PHP(sqlsrv) I'm afraid that it doesn't work on linux server, because based on the php site sqlsrv only works running on windows server.

can you give me the link to upgrade the version to PHP 5.3.3? or it is possible to manually install php from their website itself?
Sorry I don't enough that much knowledge on a linux server.

To update to 5.3, you need to remove add "php-*" package and install "php53-*" packages instead.

php53-mssql is available in EPEL repository.
