Are you using the 'default' setup from Red Hat (ie. RPMS)? If so, I (also using RH 7.2 ... completely modified at this point) found it easier to rip everything out (PHP, apache, SSL, mysql, etc) and install everything by hand (via source). Although it took me a while (hacking at it now and again), I learned a lot.
For a system w/ Apache, PHP, and MySQL, the installation order (more or less; due to dependencies) is: MySQL, PHP (w/ Apache configured, but not built), then finally Apache. So if you want to upgrade only PHP, it may be difficult depending on your dependencies (do you really want to use an outdated MySQL and Apache w/ PHP?). You probably don't want to take this approach if uptime is an issue. Unless, of course, you install everything in non-default dirs (like /usr/local)--then you can setup the new system w/out disturbing the old.
