I have never messed around with these rpms can anyone help??? ive been stuck for a week on the same spot .. a lttile more info in case it helps any

the goal I am trying to achiee is upgrade php from 4.1... to 4.3... with the gd support
I really dont care how I get to the outcome just thought installing yum and having it do the work would be great... Also it is a virtual server running plesk reloaded i think its 7.1. I have root access. thanks again!
