Dan,

I apologize for not being able to test/reproduce this today.  I'll get  
a vm setup and try to duplicate the issues you're seeing but won't be  
able to until maybe tomorrow.

That said, can I take a step back and ask what the security issue is  
that you're attempting to resolve with PHP 5.2.11?  Per our FAQ:

http://iuscommunity.org/faq/#Is%20IUS%20Right%20For%20Me?

Is IUS Right For Me?

Ask yourself these questions:

... snip ...

Am I upgrading software because I failed a PCI Security Scan?

Before jumping the gun and upgrading your packages because some  
'Security Professional' or software told you too, don't. Atleast not  
without further consideration. Red Hat uses a packaging model called  
'back porting' where the security fixes are back-ported to older  
versions of software. Therefore, the PCI scan may fail but in fact the  
software is patched for the known vulnerability.

Always check the errata for the package in question, ensure you are  
updated to the latest, and verify if or if not that security  
vulnerability has been patched. You can read more about how Red Hat  
back-ports security fixes here:

Just wanted to make sure you were aware of backporting of stock RHEL/ 
CentOS packages.  That said, CentOS is delayed behind RHEL (usually  
within a month) and therefore will not receive backported fixes as  
promptly.
