I am getting error message 'Gallery 3 requires PHP 5.2.3 or newer" on my Newly installed CentOS 5.

I do have PHP 5.3.0 is running, any one have any idea how to resolve this issue.

There was a issue with php 5.3
https://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/gallery/ticket/194

see if starting over with the experimental version helps:

You're showing PHP 5.3.0 (cli) there. The "cli" means "command line" which implies that you're testing it using something like "php -v". But that doesn't guarantee that the version that your webserver is using is PHP 5.3. Try putting <? phpinfo(); ?> into a .php file and open that in your browser to see what version Apache is using.

edit: I just updated the latest code to report the actual version you're using. Try upgrading (see the link below)

I am getting following error when I tried experimental version

Gallery requires PHP 5.2.3 or newer (you're using 5.1.6)

How can I update that?

Upgrade your PHP version.
Ask your host or find a new host.

A short note for those curious, RHEL 5.4 does not include php 5.2; it's still at 5.1.

I believe you can have two versions of php running, tho you're going to have to be very careful. For me, unless there's some clever way to manage this, I'm simply going to wait until these OS (RHEL and CentOS et al) adopt 5.2 before I install Gallery3.
