Upgrading PHP 4.2.2-17 to PHP 4.3.2-3

I'm trying to upgrade PHP from version 4.2.2-17 to version 4.3.2-3. I have downloaded a RPM to install it. When I type the command in bash I am getting some errors. I'm a linux newbie so hopefully someone can correct me and set me on the right path.

That is the error I am getting. It seems that php-mysql-4.2.2-17 is another package that I need to get? I am not exactly sure.

dependencies are a pain. you have to track down all the needed files. and you may have to do a simulataneous install of multiple rpms. you may consider compiling the source too

would compiling the source be easier? I don't know anything about compiling source, i've never done it before.

its hard to say. sometimes a compile goes smoothly and sometimes it doesn't. I'm still pretty new too.
