To upgrade PHP version 5.3 on DirectAdmin, you can follow the steps below:

SSH login your server and type following lines:

Code:
cd /usr/local/directadmin/custombuild
./build update   
./build set php5_ver 5.3   
./build php n
If you get this error

this version of PCRE is not complied with PCRE_UTF8
Then you can do these steps

First, edit /usr/local/directadmin/custombuild/configure/ap2/configure.php5
Replace --with-pcre-regex=/usr/local with --with-pcre-regex
After that run these commands
Code:
cd /usr/local/directadmin/custombuild
./build update
./build set php5_ver 5.3
./build php n
And check phpinfo() to see if PHP and PCRE are updated.

Alternative solution
First, install PCRE 8.10:
Code:
wget ftp://ftp.csx.cam.ac.uk/pub/software/programming/pcre/pcre-8.10.tar.bz2
tar jxf pcre-8.10.tar.bz2 && cd pcre-8.10
./configure --prefix=/usr/local
Install
Code:
cd /usr/local/directadmin/custombuild/
./build update
./build set php5_ver 5.3
./build php n
Finally, check phpinfo() to see if it's properly installed.
PHP Version: 5.3.x
PCRE Library Version: 8.10
Under Configure Command, you should find: --with-pcre-regex=/usr/local

Upgrade to PHP 5.4.x

Code:
cd /usr/local/directadmin/custombuild
./build set custombuild 1.2
./build set php5_ver 5.4
./build update
./build clean
./build php d
How to upgrade Mysql with custombuild
To upgrade mysql using the custombuild script, do the following:
Code:
cd /usr/local/directadmin/custombuild
./build set mysql 5.1
./build set mysql_inst yes
./build set mysql_backup yes
./build update
./build mysql
Where mysql can be 5.0, 5.1 or 5.5.

A full raw sql backup will be run prior to the upgrade if you have mysql_backup=yes set. It goes without saying, always make backups, either with this tool, or with other means.

After the mysql update, always recompile php.

Code:
./build php n
