PHP 5.3 has been officially End of LIfe as of Aug 14th, 2014 [1] and thus receives no further support from the PHP group. However, your distro's maintainers may or may not choose to continue back-porting support or make it available for you (consult with CentOS folks for that). It's highly recommended you upgrade to a supported version of PHP, however, for security implications. As you've already realized the problem with trying to use officially unsupported software (beyond the software itself being outdated) is that it hinders you from being able to take advantage of more up-to-date dependencies or other features. The nuance of seeking a migration path [2] is likely worth the effort if the net benefit of such additives appeal to you.
On a final note, this mailing list is not intended for general PHP support. It is a list for those maintaining the php.net infrastructure [3]. Be sure to check the mailing list guide on php.net in order to reach out to the appropriate mailing list in the future.
