I need to upgrade my php from 4 to 5, as I want to use exceptions, that are only available in version 5.

I tried using the following command:


yum upgrade php


yum outputs the following

[root@server ~]# yum upgrade php

PHP 5.1.6 is perfect

How do I activate the CentOS Plus repository in /etc/yum.repos.d/CentOS-Base.repo

Ok, now I understand I change the the file you mentioned in your last reply, then run

"yum udate" and then "yum upgrade php*"

if I want to update my mysql, can I assume that  I would again change the file you mentioned, and then run

"yum udate" and then "yum upgrade mysql*"

Thanks for all your help so far.
