Now, I am trying to install mhash , But I am not Successful.

I was getting this error when trying to yum install mhash

You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
You could try running: package-cleanup --problems
package-cleanup --dupes
rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest
The program package-cleanup is found in the yum-utils package.

Can any one help me on this...

Thanks ...

Don't use obsolete/unsupported releases - 5.8 is the current release. See the [url=http://wiki.centos.org/Manuals/ReleaseNotes/CentOS5.8]CentOS 5.8 Release Notes[/url] for details. By not updating you are implicitly accepting that you will live with numerous bugs and security issues (and associated known exploits) that have subsequently been fixed.

I don't see any php-mhash packages for php 5.3 anywhere. The 5.1 version you are trying to install is incompatible.

You could try following [url=http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/RebuildSRPM]How to Rebuild a Source RPM[/url] to build a compatible version, but as there is not even one around for CentOS-6 there may be a serious problem that precludes using it.

The PHP you are currently using is version 5.3. PHP 5.3 has hash support in the core package (see http://php.net/releases/5_3_0.php), thus there is no php53-mhash to be installed.
When you execute "yum install php-mhash" yum is trying to install the mhash package for PHP 5.1. You'll have to change your PHP code
to use hash (see http://php.net/hash) or you'll have to downgrade your PHP to version 5.1.
