Howdy -- for admins using 64 bit CentOS 6 and above, there is a special repository called "SCL" which CentOS provides, that includes additional PHP versions.
That repository isn't available on CentOS 5 though.
Unfortunately, that means that there isn't a supported way to upgrade PHP when using CentOS 5.
Our recommendation would be to migrate to a newer distribution.
I know that's not simple, but there really aren't reliable methods for upgrading PHP on CentOS 5. The third party repositories providing PHP are very often known for causing unusual problems. Sorry!

CentOS 7 has been supported since it came out last year, that's considered a Grade A supported distro.
You can see the list of supported Linux distributions here:

CentOS 7 by default does only provide PHP 5.4.x, but you can now use the SCL repository to install a second PHP version.
Instructions for doing that are available here:
