I had a problem where I needed to install PHP 5.2 on a CentOS system, but by default, CentOS only supports up to PHP 5.1.6.

As posted here, one solution is to enable the CentOS testing server:

To enable centos-dev, you need to create /etc/yum.repos.d/centos-test.repo and enter following lines in it:

[c5-testing]
name=CentOS-5 Testing
baseurl=http://dev.centos.org/centos/5/testing/$basearch/
enabled=1
gpgcheck=1
gpgkey=http://dev.centos.org/centos/RPM-GPG-KEY-CentOS-testing
