Upgrading stock CentOS5 PHP to 5.2.12

To run eZ publish 4.2, I needed to upgrade CentOS’s PHP 5.1.6 to PHP 5.2.12.

I started at http://php.net, and ended at http://wiki.iuscommunity.org/Doc/ClientUsageGuide#Installing_Packages_from_IUS_Testing The site has a nice collection of RPMs for PHP, so I removed the 5.1.6 RPMS and installed 5.2.12, using RPM.
