upgrade php - php5 is already the newest version. - but it is not












0















I followed the steps here:
Update server php version to 5.4.10 via the command line



and finally I get the message that it is the newest version, but it is version 5.36, far from the newest version.



I want to upgrade to at least php version 5.37 so my Laravel framework works good, and there is a much newer version of php released already:



http://php.net/archive/2014.php#id2014-01-10-1



Can you help me to upgrade php5?

          As you'll be able to see from the php5-oldstable PPA page the current version in there is 5.4.23. If you're not seeing that:




          • You either haven't followed that post correctly (have you run an apt-get update? did you add the repo properly?) Double check.

          • You're not running a supported version of Ubuntu. The PPA caters to Lucid, Precise, Quantal and Raring. Not Saucy. If you PHP5 for a different version of Ubuntu, check the Ondřej Surý's main PHP5 PPA.

          • tried several times. Consuled my coworker who is more experienced than me with linux. We did not find quick solution, so just will move to anohter server with newer version of ubuntu and php. In that server it was 11.04.

          Get the latest stable release of PHP:




          • PHP 5.5.8


          Open a terminal(Ctrl+Alt+t) and cd to the directory where you downloaded the tar ball and then type:



          tar -zxvf php-5.5.8.tar.gz


          After the extraction has completed, type



          cd php-5.5.8
          ./configure
          make
          sudo make install


          Log out and log in to reload all packages that depend on PHP and you will have PHP version 5.5.8!



          For a detailed instruction manual, refer to the INSTALL file in the extracted directory and scroll down to Installation on Unix systems.





          Before updating, when I did php --version, I got:



          PHP 5.4.6-1ubuntu1.5 (cli) (built: Dec 12 2013 04:39:44)

          Zend Engine v2.4.0, Copyright (c) 1998-2012 Zend Technologies


          After updating, php --version gives me:

          I have php5 5.5.8 on my Trusty Ubuntu, so you have to upgrade your ubuntu to a newer version to get a more recent php5. Edit /etc/apt/sources.list, replace the version with a newer one (like trusty or saucy), and apt-get upgrade will bring you the most recent one.






          share|improve this answer


























          • I wouldn't recommend doing this on a production-level machine though. Trusty isn't released (or supported) yet.

            – Oli
            Jan 22 '14 at 15:32











          • Right, I forgot to mention that. So Saucy will be sufficient, or a recent LTS version, right?

            – wangguoqin1001
            Jan 22 '14 at 15:37











          • Yeah, Saucy has 5.5.3. The last LTS (12.04) is sticking with 5.3.* (it still gets security updates but they won't do a major upgrade to avoid breaking deployments).

          Get the latest stable release of PHP:




          • PHP 5.5.8


          Open a terminal(Ctrl+Alt+t) and cd to the directory where you downloaded the tar ball and then type:



          tar -zxvf php-5.5.8.tar.gz


          After the extraction has completed, type



          cd php-5.5.8
          ./configure
          make
          sudo make install


          Log out and log in to reload all packages that depend on PHP and you will have PHP version 5.5.8!



          For a detailed instruction manual, refer to the INSTALL file in the extracted directory and scroll down to Installation on Unix systems.





          Before updating, when I did php --version, I got:



          PHP 5.4.6-1ubuntu1.5 (cli) (built: Dec 12 2013 04:39:44) 
          Copyright (c) 1997-2012 The PHP Group
          Zend Engine v2.4.0, Copyright (c) 1998-2012 Zend Technologies


          After updating, php --version gives me:



          PHP 5.5.8 (cli) (built: Jan 22 2014 21:12:05)

          I have php5 5.5.8 on my Trusty Ubuntu, so you have to upgrade your ubuntu to a newer version to get a more recent php5. Edit /etc/apt/sources.list, replace the version with a newer one (like trusty or saucy), and apt-get upgrade will bring you the most recent one.

            Jan 22 '14 at 15:32











          • Right, I forgot to mention that. So Saucy will be sufficient, or a recent LTS version, right?

          • Yeah, Saucy has 5.5.3. The last LTS (12.04) is sticking with 5.3.* (it still gets security updates but they won't do a major upgrade to avoid breaking deployments).
