What I would do, actually, is grab the _source_ RPM for PHP 5.2.9 from
the Fedora 9 repositories, then build it for Fedora 12 using the
rpm-build tool from the rpm-build package.  Of course, there may be
dependencies to keep an eye out for, and of course you have to keep in
mind that there may be security vulnerabilities in PHP 5.2.9 that got
patched for the later PHP versions (check the release notes and
ChangeLogs for that later version).

In the long run, of course, it would be wise to port your application to
the later PHP...
