No, you don't speak in the following about an update.

These are software versions not part of Fedora Core. Wait for FC4 coming
out in May.

Sorry, this does not help him to install packages / software versions
not being part of the distribution release. MySQL 4.1 and PHP5 are not
part of FC3. He could try to install rawhide/development packages - but
with the risk to affect the stability and integrity of the whole system.
