Phat Site Blog

Hello. I’m trying to make my own website. and I have stuff such as moodle, PHPmyadmin, WordPress, etc.. asking me to upgrade my PHP.
I did yum update and it didn’t have an updated package for it.
apt-get doesn’t work.
My VPS runs Apache/2.2.3 (CentOS)
MySQL is installed. Though I have to use SSH.
Errors such as
Sorry, Moodle 2.0 requires PHP 5.2.8 or later (currently using version 5.1.6).
Please upgrade your server software or install latest Moodle 1.9.x instead.
PHPmyadmin = PHP 5.2 is required

FYI, I’m a linux newb.. So I’m new to this..

How to update PHP in CentOs 5.5?
