I have a server running CentOS 5.10 that we use as a test server for our web

The web development team have asked for PHP to be upgraded to version 5.3.
Since it was available in the CentOS 5.10 repository I was able to oblige.
Later they are asking that PHP to be updated to 5.5. This is not available in
the CentOS 5.10 repository or in the CentoOS 6.5 repository. The changes in
CentOS 7.0 are so fundamentally different that I am just now looking and trying
to figure out what I have to learn and unlearn to start moving in that
direction so I have not even looked at what is available there. Looking at the
php.net site it looks like they have stable versions of PHP 5.3.29, 5.4.33,
5.5.17 and 5.6.0. They state that 5.3.29 is the last release in the 5.3 series
yet even CentOS 6.5 shows php.x86_64 5.3.3-27.el6_5.1 as the latest version. Is
it reasonable for me to step outside of what is available I the repository and
install a newer version. Is it likely to play well with apache 2.2.3-87 and
mysql 5.5.37-1? I have 3 dozen servers and about 300 desktops to deal with so
it is not like I am overloaded by what appear to be the World Class Standards
of IT today but it just seems like asking for trouble to try accommodate this
when Red Hat/CentOS have not yet down so.
What do you think?
Or should I get a block of cheese to go with this email?

I believe that my hosting service runs CentOS. Default PHP is 5.3.28.
But there is an application in the cPanel called *nPHPSelector*
where you can change the version of PHP used by directory.
This is what it states:
PHP Selector plugin allows user to select preferred PHP version per
directory on the same domain. You can select the available PHP
versions from the drop down menu.
eg: You need PHP version 5.2 on /home/perkinsn/public_html , you need
to select public_html from the following list and select 5.2 from the
drop down menu.
Same way, PHP version 5.4 on /home/perkinsn/public_html/wp, you need
to select public_html/wp from the following list and select 5.4 from
the drop down menu.
It gives you the choice to *select 5.2, 5.3 (default), 5.4 or 5.5*.
