Yes, I'm also running RH 7.2 and I have the following:

[edhill at XXX ~]$ rpm -qa | grep -i php
php-4.0.6-7
asp2php-gtk-0.75.17-1
php-imap-4.0.6-7
php-ldap-4.0.6-7
php-manual-4.0.6-7
php-mysql-4.0.6-7
asp2php-0.75.17-1
[edhill at XXX ~]$

installed on my system.  Did you look for the package on the second CD? 
I don't have the 7.2 CDs handy, but I'm 99% sure it was included...
