I get these messages when I run this command:

# yum install pcre pcre-devel php php-common php-gd php-cli php-mysql flex bison
Loaded plugins: product-id, refresh-packagekit, security, subscription-manager
Updating certificate-based repositories.
Setting up Install Process

No package php available.
No package php-common available.
No package php-gd available.
No package php-cli available.
No package php-mysql available.
No package flex available.
No package bison available.
Nothing to do

How can I fix that?

Did you set up any repo? Can you show output of # yum repolist –  Shâu Shắc Jul 28 at 10:57

Listing enabled repos

On a CentOS 6.x box I have the following repositories:

$ yum repolist|column
Loaded plugins: fastestmirror, priorities, refresh-packagekit
Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile
 * base: mirrors.usinternet.com
 * epel: mirror.steadfast.net
 * extras: centos.mbni.med.umich.edu
 * updates: centos.mirrors.tds.net
76 packages excluded due to repository priority protections
repo id         repo name                                               status
base            CentOS-6 - Base                                         6,315+66
epel            Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux 6 - x86_64             9,349
extras          CentOS-6 - Extras                                            6+7
updates         CentOS-6 - Updates                                       1,020+3
repolist: 16,690

Which repository does package X come from?

On CentOS 6.x when I use the command repoquery I find the following packages are from these repositories:

$ for i in pcre pcre-devel php php-common php-gd php-cli php-mysql flex bison ; do 
  echo -n $i; repoquery -i --archlist=`uname -m` $i \
            | grep Repo | sed 's/Repository//'; 
done | column -t

Produces the following output:

pcre        :  base
pcre-devel  :  base
php         :  updates
php-common  :  updates
php-gd      :  updates
php-cli     :  updates
php-mysql   :  updates
flex        :  base
bison       :  base

List all available repos

You can see what repos are available for your box with this command:

$ yum repolist all

Enabling a repo

To enable one of the disabled repos:

$ yum-config-manager --enablerepo=<reponame>

For example:

$ yum-config-manager --enablerepo=centosplus

Adding a repo

If you have a repositories .repo file you can add it and enable it like so:

$ yum-config-manager --add-repo http://www.example.com/example.repo
$ yum-config-manager --enablerepo=example

How about a note explaining how the OP can set up their repos? –  Joseph R. Jul 28 at 16:15
