CentOS - Jan 2011 - Missing Dependency

Problem:
    I am trying to update the php package PHP Version 5.1.6 on CentOS 
 release 4.8 to get rid of a script error:
 "PHP Fatal error:  Call to undefined function dom_import_simplexml"
 
 while running yum update php I get the following
 
 
 --> Running transaction check
 --> Processing Dependency: libt1.so.5 for package: php-gd
 --> Finished Dependency Resolution
 Error: Missing Dependency: libt1.so.5 is needed by package php-gd
 
 I have searched on google and none of the solutions seem to work.  Does 
 anyone have any ideas?

4.8 doesn't have 5.1.6, it has php 4.

I'm not sure what the problem is here. I asked a simple question. If I did
not give enough or gave the the wrong information, a simple message to that
end would have been good. I don't have a bunch of letters behind my name. I
am almost entirely self taught. I started with Linux in 1995 on an old
slackware server a very knowledgeable man built for me and was my remote
lifeline for the first couple of years. Since then I have built and ran
probably 15 Internet servers ranging from old slackware stuff to Redhat. I
just retired my last Redhat 9 server a while ago. I currently have in
service Gentoo, Fedora, CentOS and a Cacti Monitoring server that I can't
remember the flavor of Linux they built it on. When I get a problem I don't
know what to do, I Google or go to one of my many bookmarked sites. Or, I
ask someone if all else fails.

So, I was designing a Web Site and one of the scripts didn't work. Looking
at the error logs and googling the error led me to determine my PHP needed
an upgrade and even listed a painless way to do it. However, it didn't work
because of a missing dependency. I had not found the answer about to how to
fix the dependency problem and, I had joined this list about a week ago. I
have been very impressed with the quality of most of the posts so I thought
I would ask here.

I am not really interested if the version of PHP came bundled with 4.8 or
not. It seems it didn't. I probably upgraded it to fix another error I was
getting. I thought I had given all the relative information with my first
question. Sorry for bothering you.
