To upgrade to PHP 5.4.x on CentOS/RHEL/Fedora:

Step 1) Set up the atomic channel:

wget -q -O - http://www.atomicorp.com/installers/atomic | sh

Step 2) Upgrade to PHP 5.4.x:

yum upgrade

Step 3) Replace the PHP 4 php.ini with PHP 5.3.x's (if applicable):

mv /etc/php.ini.rpmnew /etc/php.ini

Step 4) Replace the php.conf with the PHP 5.4.x php.conf (if applicable):

mv /etc/httpd/conf.d/php.conf.rpmnew /etc/httpd/conf.d/php.conf

Step 5) Restart the webserver

service httpd restart
(or)
/etc/init.d/httpd restart

[edit] PHP 5.4 Checklist

1) Source code installations of extensions, like Ioncube loader, or other extensions that have to be updated. php-ioncube-loader, php-zend-optimizer, and php-eaccelerator packages are available to fix this automatically.

2) php.ini settings, like memory_limit

3) execstack -c on any extensions that claim to need an executible stack (ASL users only).
