Simply run yum install php53-xml php53-mbstring Then yum install php-IDNA_Convert php vs ph53 is a admin choicie, thus conflicts are ther by design. If you choose to use php53, you need to block php in yum config.
You can also file a bug against yum which is unable to select the correct package. Definitively not a php-IDNA_Convert bug.
