Trying to install php 5.4

[Lars_Bruins_Slot]

Hey,
I'm currently working on a school project which requires me to use PHP version 5.4. However i'm kinda new to ubuntu ( and to Linux in general).
My problem is that when i use sudo apt-get install php5 it will automatically install the latest recommended version which is at the moment 5.6.X. I did browse google for quite a bit but i cant seem to figure out how to install php 5.4,
i hope you guys can help me!.

Maybe this will help - http://tecadmin.net/install-php5-on-ubuntu/#

These guys have set up a ppa for older versions of php. PHP 5.4 is the first on the page.

Being that php is mostly backwards compatible I don't see why you would have a problem using the newest version, unless they have specifically said to use that specific version for some reason. I have been using php through a few versions and everything that I wrote in the past on older versions still work on the newest versions.

Usually php runs on an Apache server, have you already set that up?
