You can use the php5 package from backports.org. Instrctions on how to configure your sources list where provided here: http://www.backports.org/instructions.html The PHP5 backports package is named "php5".
PHP5 on debian sarge I tried like described at http://www.debianhelp.co.uk/php5.htm But for some reason I still can't run PHP5. It is installed as shown by apt-get. But when I run #php -v I get: PHP 4.3.10-16 (cli) (built: Aug 24 2005 20:25:01) Copyright (c) 1997-2004 The PHP Group Zend Engine v1.3.0, Copyright (c) 1998-2004 Zend Technologies Also, when I run the phpinfo(); I get: PHP Version 4.3.10-16 ... Someone knows how to actually activate php5? I even deleted php4 with #apt-get remove php4 and restarted the webserver with #/etc/init.d/apache2 restart Even tried rebooting, but still it didn't work. I need PHP5 because I'm using classes etc, otherwise I'll have to rewrite a lot of the stuff I'm developing to run on my vserver.
You used the command line PHP here. Did you install php5-cli? Did you run that on the command line or in a web browser?
I did run that part in a web browser. Anyway, I got it sorted now. I don't know why, but when I went through the steps again, it just worked. I think I might have missed out on the lib module or something. Well, anyway, it's working now, thnx though.
