I have no experience with CentOS but I'm pretty sure it would have a package 
manager similiar to apt-get, or yum.

If CentOS uses RPM then you could go download php 5.3.2 off the web and then 
open a terminal and type:
root (to login as root)
password (enter root password)
change the directory to where you saved the file:
cd /path/to/where/the/file/is
rpm -Uvh ( enter name of the package that you downloaded here and omit the 
parenthesis )
