How do you upgrade php on debian linux? I’ve tried:

apt-get update
apt-get dist-upgrade
apt-get check
apt-get install php5

and no matter what, it keeps saying it’s already the newest version, but the version we have installed is 5.3.3 and they’re on 5.4.9.

Why can it not detect that there is a newer version?

Do you have to manually install it somehow?

Thanks!
