How to install the latest PHP version for Ubuntu

Ubuntu 10.10 (Maverick) is offering as for today a relative old version PHP 5.3.3, if you want to have a better version, you’ll have to trust an unofficial APT repository. Here is How

Thanks to the NGINX team, you can find nearly the latest version of PHP online at https://launchpad.net/~nginx/+archive/php5

Create a new file php5-ppa.list

vi /etc/apt/sources.list.d/php5-ppa.list

and depending on the version of your ubuntu, you can replace the word maverick with the oldest oneiric, natty, or the latest lucid

deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/nginx/php5/ubuntu maverick main
deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/nginx/php5/ubuntu maverick main

run an update, to get the latest PHP version

# apt-get update
# apt-get dist-upgrade

Alternatively you can still compile PHP on your own..

PHP basic settings fo more security

If you consider using PHP on a new server, use  nothing else than PHP 5.2.3, it may be a pain to rewrite or patch foreign code, but PHP 5.2 is more secure and 100% faster than PHP4, moreover PHP4 is soon dead!

PHP 4 end of life announcement
"Today it is exactly three years ago since PHP 5 has been released. In those three years it has seen many improvements over PHP 4. PHP 5 is fast, stable & production-ready and as PHP 6 is on the way, PHP 4 will be discontinued.
The PHP development team hereby announces that support for PHP 4 will continue until the end of this year only. After 2007-12-31 there will be no more releases of PHP 4.4. We will continue to make critical security fixes available on a case-by-case basis until 2008-08-08. Please use the rest of this year to make your application suitable to run on PHP 5. For documentation on migration for PHP 4 to PHP 5, we would like to point you to our migration guide. There is additional information available in the PHP 5.0 to PHP 5.1 and PHP 5.1 to PHP 5.2 migration guides as well. from http://www.php.net/

If you are not able to use the latest version, consider applying PHP hardening patches from http://www.hardened-php.net/hphp/how_to_install_or_upgrade.html and compiling PHP  for yourself (these patches are no more needed in PHP 5.2 since they are part of the main source tree). A lot of  people already do that,  even if it is not easy.

PHP applications should not execute OS code...

Impact of Zend Optimizer on PHP Performance

The Zend Optimizer FAQ answers the question "Why use the Zend Optimizer?" with this statement: "The standard Zend run-time compiler used by PHP is indeed extremely fast, generating code that is usually 2 to 10 times faster. But an application that uses the Zend Optimizer typically executes another 40% to 100% faster."
