Are you saying that RHEL break PHP by upgrading from 5.2 to 5.3?

That would be very strange, RHEL's reknowned for very strict binary compatibility and backporting every security fix to whatever they shipped originally. Lagging behind RHEL updates would normally just mean you're insecure / have bugs for longer.

No, he's saying that upgrading PHP 5.2 to 5.3 might break the PHP apps running on the server.

OK, but unless you have evidence that Red Hat have specifically broken their release policy that won't happen in the middle of a major release, so that's no reason to lag behind on updates.
