I just upgraded PHP to V5.4 on my laptop, using the technique described in this answer, How do I install different (upgrade or downgrade) PHP version in still supported Ubuntu release?.

I did the same for my desktop a while back and it all worked fine. On my laptop however the old version (5.3.10) is still showing at the CLI (php -v) and the SAPI (phpinfo()). why is it so?

Presumably there is a config file (or two) that needs updating?

I am using Ubuntu 12.04.

EDIT: output of dpkg -l '*php5*' as requested: (sorry about the formatting)

ANOTHER EDIT: Problem solved

Hi, Ubuntu suddenly decided it had numerous other updates to apply, including a kernel upgrade, so I let that happen and we now have v 5.4! (The CLI is saying it can't load xdebug, but I've seen this before and should be able to sort it out. If I can't I'll raise another question).

See last edit above. Basically, Ubuntu needed to install some updates, and once this had happened, php 5.4 was in use.

  • Please flag the question as answered (You always need to do apt-get update && apt-get (dist-)upgrade). There should be a php5-xcache package in my PHP PPA prepared for PHP5.4 as well, so it might be a matter of installing php5-xcache (apt-get install php5-xcache). – oerdnj Jun 07 '13 at 08:55

I had the same issue. Adding this:

LoadFile "d:/Apache24/php/php-5.6.29/php5ts.dll"

in httpd.conf

fixed it for me

Since you were using ubuntu, you could've just done an update using aptitude or apt-get. Eitherway, you need to update httpd.conf and make sure that php5_module points to the place where your new php is.

LoadModule php5_module modules/libphp5.so

The reason why it still points to an older version of php might be due to your computer having multiple copies of php.
