I can give you tips for safe installing PHP5 on on RedHat 5. Check it:
# Check your rpm -e all the PHP packages that RedHat provide.
# Download the tarball from www.php.net
# Untar it, form cd into the directory and do
./configure
make
make install
You will need the usual build chain extra Apache's dev library at the very smallest amount. You might desire to sprint. /configure --help first and see what choice is available; a number of them will require extra dev libraries, such as for MySQL support.
