I finally found a place for all the PHP 5.3 files. I have all the links, I just really don't know where else to go from having the links.
Simply doing "yum install linkshere" just gave me issues like in this screenshot:
I am getting errors exactly like that for other files which are already linked to in the command.
Even though I have the link to that type of file in the command, it gives me the issues saying it's required.
My links:
http://centos.alt.ru/pub/repository/centos/6/x86_64/php-5.3.27-1.el6.x86_64.rpm
Go to that link and then press Ctrl + F and search for "php-5.3" and you will find where it starts.
Also whenever I run the following I get :
rpm -Uvh http://centos.alt.ru/pub/repository/centos/6/x86_64/php-5.3.27-1.el6.x86_64.rpm
My server is running CentOS 6, and from what I have done so far and read, I have removed PHP from my server. I just don't know how to go about installing everything with the issues I am getting.
I need PHP 5.3 because the script that I have is IonCubed and it's made for 5.3. The owner is no longer reachable either to get it updated.

I suppose that you want not just “PHP 5.3” (which would be satisfied by the
php-5.3.3-*packages included in the base CentOS 6 distribution), but “a PHP 5.3.x version which is more recent than 5.3.3, and the IonCube Loader module built for that PHP version”. In this case you may look at the IUS Community Project, which provides RPM packages for the latest upstream versions of PHP and some other software, built for RHEL (and compatible with CentOS). In particular, this repository provides a recent version of PHP 5.3.x and the IonCube Loader module for that version.Note that packages from the IUS repository have different package names (e.g., PHP 5.3.x packages are named
php53u-*) to avoid conflicts with the base system (as described on The SafeRepo Initiative page), unlike packages fromcentos.alt.ruwhich you tried.
