Any one have idea about how to upgrade php version 5.3.2 to 5.3.5 in ubuntu server?

apt-get install php5 command will upgrade latest php 4 version?

You can always download and compile the module yourself but depending on the extensions you need it will take a while to get everything running. (I don't know a command that lets you upgrade to a specific version via apt-get.) But maybe someoneelse knows better.

cheers, j

It appears you are using Ubuntu 10.04? This release offers stable, well-tested software from April (.04) 2010 (10.).

If you want newer software then you need to go outside the Ubuntu repositories and download/install PHP from another source as j-ray suggests. Or you can upgrade to a newer Ubuntu release, which will upgrade all of your packages at once to newer versions. For example if you go to 12.04 you will get stable software from April (.04) 2012 (12.) such as PHP 5.3.10.

Is there a reason you specifically need 5.3.5? 5.3.5 was superceded in March 2011 by 5.3.6 which offered "over 60 bug fixes, some of which are security related." The latest PHP version is 5.5.0 and the current 5.3.x is 5.3.26.

Also keep in mind that the PHP 5.3.2 in the Ubuntu 10.04 repositories is not actually 5.3.2; rather, Ubuntu developers have been "backporting" security patches and bug fixes from newer PHP releases over the past 3 years. If you bypass the Ubuntu repos and manually install a different PHP then you will not get the benefit of this support from Ubuntu security team.
