Hi,

You must upgrade your box to the latest 5.x version (currently 5.7), the php53
(php 5.3.3) package is provided in the main repo.

Regards.

First, run
        yum update

to update to 5.7, you're like 2-3 years behind in security and core updates.

second,

     yum install php53

will install 5.3.3 ... this is only available with 5.6 or newer.
