I have a server running CentOS 5.10 that we use as a test server for our web site. The web development team have asked for PHP to be upgraded to version 5.3. Since it was available in the CentOS 5.10 repository I was able to oblige. Later they are asking that PHP to be updated to 5.5. This is not available in the CentOS 5.10 repository or in the CentoOS 6.5 repository. The changes in CentOS 7.0 are so fundamentally different that I am just now looking and trying to figure out what I have to learn and unlearn to start moving in that direction so I have not even looked at what is available there. Looking at the php.net site it looks like they have stable versions of PHP 5.3.29, 5.4.33, 5.5.17 and 5.6.0. They state that 5.3.29 is the last release in the 5.3 series yet even CentOS 6.5 shows php.x86_64 5.3.3-27.el6_5.1 as the latest version. Is it reasonable for me to step outside of what is available I the repository and install a newer version. Is it likely to play well with apache 2.2.3-87 and mysql 5.5.37-1? I have 3 dozen servers and about 300 desktops to deal with so it is not like I am overloaded by what appear to be the World Class Standards of IT today but it just seems like asking for trouble to try accommodate this when Red Hat/CentOS have not yet down so.
What do you think? Or should I get a block of cheese to go with this email? Bruce -- Bruce W. Martin, KQ4TV Mt.
