vim /etc/apt/sources.list
and add these lines to it:
deb http://php53.dotdeb.org stable all
deb-src http://php53.dotdeb.org stable all
Download and import the dotdeb key:
wget http://www.dotdeb.org/dotdeb.gpg
cat dotdeb.gpg | sudo apt-key add -Then remove all php packages from the system. For example in my case:
apt-get remove php5 libapache2-mod-php5 php5-gd php5-mysql
apt-get remove php5-curl php5-tidy php5-dev php-pear php5-cli
apt-get remove php5-common php5-suhosin
Update your sources:
apt-get update
and reinstall PHP packages:
apt-get install php5 libapache2-mod-php5 php5-gd php5-mysql
apt-get install php5-curl php5-tidy php5-dev php-pear php5-cli
apt-get install php5-common php5-suhosin
now the following command will show you the new PHP version:
php -v
Update:
because php53.dotdeb.org no longer has lenny packages, we install the PHP 5.3 manually:
mkdir /tmp/php5
cd /tmp/php5
download all PHP5 packages from (our example is PHP 5.3.10) :
http://archives.dotdeb.org/dists/lenny/php5/5.3.10/binary-amd64/
wget -r -l 1 http://archives.dotdeb.org/dists/lenny/php5/5.3.10/binary-amd64/
remove old version:
apt-get remove php5 libapache2-mod-php5
apt-get remove php5-gd php5-mysql php5-curl
apt-get remove php5-tidy php5-dev php-pear
apt-get remove php5-common php5-mcrypt php5-cli
and install new PHP packages:
dpkg -i php5-common_5.3.10-1~dotdeb.0_amd64.deb
dpkg -i libapache2-mod-php5_5.3.10-1~dotdeb.0_amd64.deb
dpkg -i php5_5.3.10-1~dotdeb.0_all.deb
dpkg -i php5-mysql_5.3.10-1~dotdeb.0_amd64.deb
dpkg -i php5-curl_5.3.10-1~dotdeb.0_amd64.deb
dpkg -i php5-cli_5.3.10-1~dotdeb.0_amd64.deb
dpkg -i php-pear_5.3.10-1~dotdeb.0_all.deb
dpkg -i php5-curl_5.3.10-1~dotdeb.0_amd64.deb
dpkg -i php5-mcrypt_5.3.10-1~dotdeb.0_amd64.deb
dpkg -i php5-tidy_5.3.10-1~dotdeb.0_amd64.deb
dpkg -i php5-gd_5.3.10-1~dotdeb.0_amd64.deb
dpkg -i php5-dev_5.3.10-1~dotdeb.0_amd64.deb
restart the apache:
/etc/init.d/apache2 restart

Unfortunately php53.dotdeb.org no longer has lenny packages...
nice post....for me it's very helpful and it works :)
Many Thanks
Is it possible to add http://archives.dotdeb.org/dists/lenny/php5/5.3.10/binary-amd64/
to sources list? To make it installable with apt.get?
If you mean for Lenny, I must say no, because dotdeb.org has no longer support Lenny packages. But for squeeze is possible.
I found a solution:
1. I made new directory
Code:
mkdir /root/downloads/php5.3
2. I downloaded all of the deb packages
Code:
wget -r -l 1 http://archives-php53.dotdeb.org/dists/lenny/php5/5.3.9/binary-i386/
3. Created Packages.gz
Code:
sudo dpkg-scanpackages . /dev/null | gzip -c9 > Packages.gz
4. added this to sources.list
Code:
deb file:///root/downloads/php5.3 ./
5.
Code:
sudo apt-get update
6.
Code:
apt-get upgrade
7.
Code:
apt-get dist-upgrade
And that's it
8.
Code:
php -v

@Nenad Bulatovic: cool, thanks for your comment
Hi, @Nenad Bulatovic,
thanks for your info, but after creating package and when i run apt-get update, i got file not found at /root/downloads/php5.3/./Sources.gz and also for Packages.gz. Where these .gz files stored and how to solve it?
Thanks
Fahim
@fahim-ansari
They should be in directory where you ran command for creation of packages.
However, you can do: "updatedb" and then "locate Packages.gz" to find where are they stored on your system.

@Jackson:
Hi Jackson,
did you try to run this command after dependency problem:
apt-get -f install
Thanx for great post. Still actual.
