Is there an easy way out to get the latest PHP? I have tried updating my package but none of it has 5.4.6 yet... if anyone knows on how to do it quickly, can it be shared here?
I've tried compiling from the source, but I am constantly getting:
configure: error: Cannot find OpenSSL's <evp.h>.
In my ./configure I've specified where evp.h is, --with-openssl=/usr/include/openssl \.., but still it gives me, that error –
Simply add the PPA repository:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ondrej/php5-oldstable
And install it:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install php5
You may need to install add-apt-repository on Ubuntu 12.04. To do so, run the command:
sudo apt-get install python-software-properties
For PHP 5.5 (currently 5.5.30) add the PPA repository instead:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ondrej/php5
For PHP 5.6 (currently 5.6.14) add the PPA repository instead:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ondrej/php5-5.6
Hai Look at the following page to update PHP 5.4 in Ubunthu
http://www.zimbio.com/Ubuntu+Linux/articles/D_AsJR2qAL6/How+Upgrade+PHP+5+4+Ubuntu
You can update by apt-get command in terminal. Open Terminal and login to su user . then try the following command to update
add-apt-repository ppa:ondrej/php5
apt-get update
apt-get install php5
If you try in local user means, use sudo before all commands...
WARNING: - this will also auto-upgrade Apache (now 2.4) which has additional consequences, i.e. there are big config changes between Apache 2.2. and 2.4 that will prevent the Apache service from running afterwards!
If the official Ubuntu repositories aren't updated (and I do not think they are yet, latest PHP version available should be 5.3.x), you'll have to download the source files and compile it yourself.
