Update PHP-5.3.4 in CentOS 6.5

[Usual]

PHP 5.3.4 or higher version is required by laravel php framework, so I update php in my CentOS 6.5 by running

Code: Select all

sudo yum update php

,but it doesn't work.

CentOS 6.5 contains PHP-5.3.3 as its highest version in yum epository, so how can I update my php easily?

Thx.

You may try install php 5.4 from SCL but it installs parallel with core packages and i don't know if it will be seen by your framework (depends on how are you installing it). As the other option you may install php 5.6 from IUS repo, but be carefull as it replaces core packages.

IUS is very careful not to replace core packages. It names them all differently so that they are not automatically picked up and replaced. It requires sysadmin intervention to have them replaced.

I reinstalled my php 5.4 yesterday with a repo named remi, thx a lot.

DId upgrading php using the remi repo install a second php or upgrade the 5.3 that was installed before?

[TrevorH]

If you install the remi repo then it replaces the original php with a newer version. If you're not careful it will also have done the same for mysql and any other packages that are in the remi repo at a higher version number than the ones from base.

Ye I realise you have to specify remi repo to do the updates
