What version of PHP can I get with CentOS 6 (http://myhosting.com/centos-vps/)? Right now I have CentOS 5.5, and I'm limited to PHP 5.2.17.

Thanks,
Shane.

There are ways to switch your PHP version on CentOS 5. Plesk for example can be used to switch your version to PHP 5.3 through a component update. cPanel/WHM handles this for you entirely I think as well. If you're not using a panel, you should be able to uninstall your existing php packages and replace them with php53 versions. Backups are always vital when making major changes like this so take one!
