Centos packages are available here:
http://mirrors.kernel.org/centos/4.5/centosplus/i386/RPMS/php-5.1.6-3.el4s1.8.i386.rpm

I think you can put it in your yum repos too:
#additional packages that extend functionality of existing packages
[centosplus]
name=CentOS-$releasever - Plus
mirrorlist=http://mirrorlist.centos.org/?release=$releasever&arch=$basearch&repo=centosplus
#baseurl=http://or_pick_a_mirror/yum/centosmirror/centos4.0/centosplus/$basearch/
gpgcheck=1
enabled=1
gpgkey=http://mirror.centos.org/centos/RPM-GPG-KEY-centos4

That may need some massaging to work on rhel4 proper since I nabbed it
from a centos4 box.
And of course none of this helps with your real question. :shrug:
