Install older version of php with yum

Hi to all,

I try to install on Centos with YUM a older version of php. When i use YUM LIST PHP i get the following results:

Available Packages
php.i386 5.1.6-23.2.el5_3 base
php.i386 5.1.6-24.el5_4.5 updates
php.i386 5.2.12-1.el5.art atomic
php.i386 5.2.12-2.el5.art atomic
php.i386 5.2.12-3.el5.art atomic
php.i386 5.2.13-1.el5.art atomic

which is great. now I want to install version 5.1.6 and tried all kind of things but he always give me the awnser that the package is not avalible or he wants to install 5.2.12

I tried: yum --allow-downgrade install php.i386-5.1.6-23.2.el5_3

I get the anwser:
Setting up Install Process
No package php.i386-5.1.6-23.2.el5_3 available.
Nothing to do

I am out of ideas here...
How can i choose which package i want to install with yum?

thanks for help,
Oliver

You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
You could try running: package-cleanup --problems
package-cleanup --dupes
rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest
The program package-cleanup is found in the yum-utils package.

Ok what is the version of php-common and php-cli , maybe they are also newer I mean they are both 5.2.x and you need to do the same thing with them remove and install to get the old version

1- post the output of

rpm -qa | grep php

2- yum search php-common php-cli
