In Linux, PHP can be quickly upgraded to 5.2.6 (1) and re-compiled and installed with Yum (2 ).

In Linux, the default Yum source is installed with the PHP 5.1 package,

After installing php In yum, View

Rpm-Qa PHP

Php-5.1.6-23.2.el5_3

Some programs require php5.2 or later versions.

So I found the information and finally found an introduction to add an additional source as follows:

# Rpm-import http://www.jasonlitka.com/media/RPM-GPG-KEY-jlitka
# Gedit/etc/yum. Repos. d/utterramblings. Repo
You can also directly modify the name of/etc/yum. Repos. d/utterramblings. Repo. You can customize the name to end with. Repo, such as ABC. repo.

Add the following content to the open file:

[ABC]
Name = Jason's utter ramblings Repo
Baseurl = http://www.jasonlitka.com/media/el?releasever/?basearch/
Enabled = 1
Gpgcheck = 1
Gpgkey = http://www.jasonlitka.com/media/RPM-GPG-KEY-jlitka
