Hi David, I don't know specifically on RHEL5 but from experience it is hard to get new updates for unmaintained versions of Redhat (I had issues finding packages for RedHat 7 which is now ancient :) ).
As PHP is fairly easy to compile, have you tried compiling it, I have been able to do it 'quite' easily (it took some time - but it worked) using the online guides.
