How to install latest php version on Yahoo Webserver?

I am using Yahoo Small Business web host. When I tried to install Cubecart on that it requires PHP Version 5.1.0 so please tell me how to do especially on Yahoo web host.

1. Your web host determines what version of PHP is installed on their servers. You cannot just install your own application software on a hosts' server - only the scripts that get processed by the application. Yahoo Small Business currently uses PHP 4.3.11
2. You cannot upgrade your PHP version. I am sorry to hear that you host with Yahoo. They have the worst customer service and their apps are not up-to-date. Your only choice now is to move your host. If you are having problem choosing a web hosting to use, I suggest you do the following: 1. Go to the webhost review sites and list down about 3 common top hosting companies. 2. Next, for each web hosting X, do a “X sucks” search on Google. Read some complaints and see if you may encounter the same problems like them. Some of the complaints may relate to certain groups of users only such as VPS, dedicated server users or resellers. So you may not be affected if you are not from these categories. 3. Eliminate those hostings you feel uncomfortable with, and look for the best bargain hosting for your money. You can try Fatcow, Justhost or Webfaction. They have the latest PHP5. Good luck.
