need php v5.2.1 or greater

We're running debian etch with php4 packages (v4.4.4-8+etch6):
php4,php4-cgi,php4-cli,php4-common,php4-curl,php4-dev,php4-domxml,php4-gd,php4-imap,php4-ldap,php4-mcal,php4-mhash,php4-mysql,php4-odbc,php4-pear,php4-recode,php4-snmp,php4-sybase,php4-xslt

We need to install an application with a minimum requirement of php v5.2.1 or greater. But the latest debian package is php5 (v5.2.0-8+etch13).

Do I have no choice but to uninstall debian php packages and install php from source? Special considerations need to be taken not to break any php apps already in the system.

Any advice is greatly appreciated.

 

You may try installing the lenny packages (5.2.6), or from http://www.dotdeb.org/ (never have used this repo though)

Thanks marpada. Looks promising. I'll try this first in test.
