The upgrading tools will do just that, upgrade from the older versions 
to the newer version. In either your yum or up2date configuration files 
is a line that refers to a Development repository. If you uncomment the 
lines you can upgrade httpd, php and mysql to the versions that are in 
rawhide.

(httpd-2.0.53-4, mysql-4.1.9-1 and php-5.0.3-2).

For yum, you can enable the repo temporarily as explained in earlier 
postings to the list. You should be able to find the commands to use in 
the yum documentation.

The updating programs are also called dep resolvers and should pull in 
any needed packages required to upgrade php, httpd and mysql to the 
versions you require.

As commented earlier in this thread, "rawhide" (development) can lead ti 
instabilities. I'm running it now and there are a few flukes, but 
pulling in the programs you want with their required library versions 
might fit your needs and not cause instabilities. (No promises though). :-)

I use up2date, you would edit /etc/sysconfig/rhn/sources to include a 
development repo. From the commandline as root you would run
up2date httpd php mysql --nosig
and let the upgrade/depsolver tool do the installation of packages.
After you get the desired programs, comment the lines out in the config 
file mentioned above, that refer to development and you should be back 
to FC3 updates again.

It sounds like for your intentions, running yum commands to temporarily 
enable te repos might be your best option.
