There are at least a couple ways around this problem.

1) Follow the rpm dependencies until you fulfill them all. There are
lots of great rpm sites around, rpmfind.net, freshrpms.net, etc. This
option has two possible outcomes:
a) You succeed and finally get your desired PHP version installed.
b) You fail and your box is a mess of mostly-upgraded rpms.

2) Rip out your PHP rpms and install PHP from source.

I don't use rpm based distros much anymore, but I usually go for
option #2 anyway.
