What is a Transaction Check Error and how can I fix it ?
Best Answer
Based on the error messages, it looks like your upgrade is trying to upgrade your 5.3.6 version of PHP to an older version (5.2.17), and it's running into conflicts.
Did you add an extra repo in the past?

I'd expect that you have 2 different repos listing PHP. On that assumption, the fix would be to exclude the older version of PHP in your /etc/yum.repos.d/ dir.
Alternatively, you can exclude the specific offending packages on the command line. See http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/redhat-centos-linux-yum-update-exclude-packages/
