Yes, RHEL/Centos comes with an old version of PHP. So what? There is an easy 
solution. You guys act like there is no repository system and you are stuck 
with 
what you initially have on the box. Add a repo. I suggest not adding any ole' 
repo., but the Zend repo. Install Zend Server and you will always have the 
latest version of PHP 5.3.

 .  I know there are a lot of RHEL/Centos haters out there. Please do not start 
an apt vs. yum argument.

Subject: Re: [LinuxUsers] Trying to get focused on the PHP programming butneed 
help with the following

One of my main beefs with binary server distro's is how out of date they are.
CentOS 5.5, brand new:

php 5.1.6 released: 
24 Aug 2006
mysql 5.0.7 released: 28 January 2009
apache 2.2.3 released: 28 July 2006

There is a point of being stable, and then there is just out... of... date...

Shows current stable, and what comes with the distro.
