How to install / setup PHP 5.5.x on Ubuntu

How to install

There’s an excellent and (usually) hassle-free method to install the latest version of PHP5 (which is 5.5.3 when i’m writing this) with 3 simple bash commands:
1. Add this package-repository to your system. If Ubuntu says that you need to download a key first, then follow the instructions given in the notice.
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ondrej/php5
If you get an error message now, then please do an update first and install the python-software-properties, that need to be necessary to add a package repository:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install python-software-properties
2. Update
sudo apt-get update
3. Install PHP
sudo apt-get install php5
Check the installed version of PHP via
php5 -v
Please note: The ondrej/php5 repository (which is used here) provides the very latest version of PHP. Usually the new version of PHP is available a few days after it was been officially released. This is really cool and a big step forward as Ubuntu, Debian, CentOS etc. provide only very old versions by default.

To UPDATE from PHP 5.3 / 5.4 to PHP 5.5:

It’s also possible to update from any PHP version to the latest one with exactly the commands above. But, after doing
sudo apt-get install php5
you’ll have to restart the server with
sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart
or
sudo service apache2 restart

How to setup multiple PHP versions on Apache

There are several reasons you might need to run multiple versions of PHP on the same server. Maybe you have a PHP 5.2 application running on your server and you need to start working on another application based on a new framework like Symfony2 or Lithium? Perhaps you haver a client with a legacy site that runs PHP 5.2, or maybe you simply want to test some of the new functionality? This post is going to explain how to setup a server to run multiple versions of PHP. Apache doesn’t allow multiple versions of PHP using mod_php, so we need to compile it using FastCGI support. This will allow us to configure multiple sites, each one with a different version of PHP. I also allow us to specify the owner of the PHP process so we don’t have to use the default Apache user. Assigning specific users for each site has a number of advantages, including eliminating those pesky permissions problems when you have files created both by users and the webserver. Pre-requisites Before the start, w...
