Fedora 6 has been end-of-life for a long time. It's no longer maintained, and new packages aren't being released for it. You have two options: 1) upgrade to a recent version of Fedora or 2) compile upstream PHP source yourself. I strongly recommend staying away from #2 unless you want to dive into the rabbit hole.

  • If you have available disk space, yes you can create a new partition (or set thereof) and install a new version of Fedora. You'll need to figure out how to dual-boot that system on your own, as it will be dependent on the location of the existing installation.
