Fedora 17 includes version 5.4.0 of php. This includes a number of significant new features, including support for [http://www.php.net/traits Traits], and a minimal [http://www.php.net/manual/en/features.commandline.webserver.php Built-in web server] as well as a number of performance enhancements.

Fedora 17 now provides php extension to used with apache in worker mode (aka as ZTS extensions). This should be considered as experimental.
The eAccelerator project is dead, no upate, no compatible version, so php-eaccelerator have been removed from the repository. The APC is a good alternative as this opcode cache is maintained by the PHP team itself, so use the php-pecl-apc package.
