HOW TO UPGRADE TO PHP 5.3 ON A CENTOS 5 DISTRO

I am trying to install cahoots a StackOverflow clone but I am running Centos 5 and by default
it comes with php 5.1.6 and I needed to install the Zend Framework. If you tried to install the Zend
framework you will realize that you need PHP 5.2 in order to use it.

I know there are ways to install a new version of PHP on Centos 5, I would not recommend this steps
on a production system at work because you will be using repos that are not supported by Redhat or Centos
so if the maintainer of the repo decides to you are stuck with a version of PHP that is not maintained
by anyone and if there are bugs or security risks you are stuck with a machine that is not supported anymore.
