struggling to install PHP pecl on Centos

php linux centos pecl

I'm trying to install the php_http PHP extension on my CentOS server.

I have done:

yum install php-pear

But get:

No package php-pear available

Yet I can do:

pear

And get a list of commands from Pear.

Same for yum install pecl. I can do pecl but pecl install pecl_http returns:

No releases available for package "pecl.php.net/pecl_http"
install failed

Yet /usr/bin/pecl isn't a directory that exists. Also a sudo pecl install pecl_http returns sudo: pecl: command not found, which I find quite odd.

I'm not entirely sure what's going on here/what I'm doing wrong.

edit: I am using the following repos:

base                         CentOS-6 - Base
epel                         Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux 6 - x86_64
extras                       CentOS-6 - Extras
rpmforge                     RHEL 6 - RPMforge.net - dag
updates                      CentOS-6 - Updates
vz-base                      vz-base
vz-updates                   vz-updates
