Answer 1

First add the following lines to the /etc/apt/sources.list.d/php5-ppa.list file using your favourite editor.

deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/nginx/php5/ubuntu maverick main
deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/nginx/php5/ubuntu maverick main

Then run the following command to add a key for the newly added repositories:

sudo apt-key adv --recv-keys --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com 00A6F0A3C300EE8C

After that you can update Ubuntu's software and upgrade PHP:

aptitude update
aptitude full-upgrade

I you want to upgrade Ubuntu 10.04 LTS to PHP 5.3.10, this is how I have done it:

sudo apt-get remove --purge php*  
sudo apt-get autoremove  
sudo apt-add-repository ppa:brianmercer/php5  
sudo apt-get update  
sudo apt-get install php5 libapache2-mod-php5 php5-cli php5-cgi php5-mysql php5-gd  
sudo service apache2 restart  
sudo pecl uninstall apc  
sudo pecl install apc  

Thanks to Brian Mercer for his PPA for php5.

I would recommend using my (Ondrej's) PPA, the answer taken from another Q&A thread: [How do I install PHP 5.4.0?

You could use a ppa to stay up-to-date with php. I use :

https://launchpad.net/~ondrej/+archive/php5

It's now on 5.4. If you want use this ppa do this:

ppa:ondrej/php5 (Click here for instructions on using PPAs.)

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ondrej/php5
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade

If you don't have add-apt-repository binary do the following:

sudo apt-get install python-software-properties

Answer 5

Unfortunately I believe you have to install PHP from source in order to get the latest version. You can get the file from php.net, and essentially follow their installation guide from their manual.
