How do I install different (upgrade or downgrade) PHP version in still supported Ubuntu release? – LF-DevJourney Aug 18 '17 at 06:15

I don't think it is possible to install PHP 5.1 from repositories.
The PHP5 Launchpad page lists supported PHP versions starting from Hardy. 5.2.4 is the first supported version.
You might be able to install from untrusted repositories or compile from source.
But please note you are taking risks by not using a supported PHP version. The real solution would be to upgrade/fix the application instead of downgrading.

+1, compile from source is the only option here. Its a really bad idea though.. most security patches in PHP aren't even tested against 5.1 anymore now that 5.2 is the "old version" and 5.3 is the current stable. 5.4 will be out very soon, so you are just slipping further behind. – SpamapS Nov 22 '11 at 19:29
