The PHP provided by RHEL 7 (and hence CentOS Linux 7) and supported by Red Hat until June 2024 was initially forked from 7.4.16.
Red Hat does provide (and support) PHP 7.0, 7.1, 7.2, and 7.3 via Software Collections. (SCL repos you can define with package 'centos-release-scl-rh'.)

Upstream PHP has only three supported versions: 7.4, 8.0, and 8.1: https://www.php.net/supported-versions.php

Remi has reliable PHP repositories: https://rpms.remirepo.net/enterprise/7/
Even there is no 5.3.

Note: The "yum search" has always been so and so. Practically all PHP packages have "php" in their name.
Therefore, yum list \*php\* should find as much as the search.

You find some "ea-*" packages. I have no idea what repository has those.


You should really consider whether hunting ancient, unsupported, and probably insecure PHP is really a better option than porting your application to use a supported PHP.

thanks master,
we know PHP 5.3 some YEARS arrive to EOL, however we need PHP 5.3 on a domain.

Some idea about how we can install?

[TrevorH]

I believe I've seen posts from the Red Hat php maintainer stating that php 5.3 is not only EOL but that it will not build at all on CentOS 7.

CentOS 7 has php 5.4.16 which is not that far away from 5.3 so maybe your code will work on that but at some point you're going to need to bite the bullet and convert the php code to something newer. Why not now?

thanks master TrevorH, connecting to SHELL as USER (no root), I obtain this:, https://pasteboard.co/LjjjDRhIZkfF.png

but when we run from HTTP:

and yes, we put .htacces with:

Code: Select all

AddHandler fcgid-script .php 
FCGIWrapper "/home/$user/local/bin/php-cgi" .php
