Nice to see you still are on Fedora Core 3. Given that
 php in FC3 is 

[capt@bubudiu~]$ rpm -qa | grep php
php-mysql-4.3.11-2.5
php-4.3.11-2.5
php-ldap-4.3.11-2.5
php-pear-4.3.11-2.5

I would suspect you are mixing repositories and that
is why you have the impossible combinations presented.

Nuke yum and the cache, clean out /etc/yum.repos.d and
/etc/yum.conf and reinstall yum afresh.

Is that a pure FC3 system or was it a FC1 machine
before?
