CentOS - May 2012 - Upgrading PHP and PHP53 on CentOS5 - Progress/Problem w/ Squirrelmail

Greetings

In the attempt to upgrade the technology stack on CentOS 5 from stock PHP
to PHP53 I have made some progress.

Much thanks to all respondents, especially Jesus.

One repository that provides a complete set of builds and seems to fulfill
both PHP and PHP53 requirements is the IUS one:
http://iuscommunity.org/
Repos here:
http://dl.iuscommunity.org/pub/ius/stable/Redhat/5/i386/repoview/


One reference to several discussions covering this topic are available here:
https://www.centos.org/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?topic_id=30881


Using the IUS PHP53 rpms allows for the rpm re-installation of drupal6,
phpmyadmin, and squirrelmail.

However, with Squirrelmail there is one critical issue. Via one of its
plugins, Squirellmail provides an html email editor. With the upgrade to
PHP53, the editor continues to work. However, the html email that is
composed using this functionality is received empty.

Reverting back to the original CentOS PHP packages re-enables this
functionality.

Is there a solution to this issue?

Much thanks.

One (secondary) thing.

In order to support yum updates from the IUS repository, how do I load the
appropriate file?

Much thanks.

Hi Max. Testing squirrelmail with php53 (epel) from CentOS 5.8: I just
installed the html editor plugin from squirrelmail (this one from 2005:
http://squirrelmail.org/plugin_view.php?id=209), I activated it, however I
don't see how I could test it, I don't see the usual html buttons, under
"options" I checked some probable boxes but to no avail. How do you
know
the plugin is activated? Could you send me a screenshot? It has been a very
long day here, tomorrow night I can make some other tests.
Regards,
Jesus
