PHP not upgraded with ubuntu 14.04

development

Hi,

I've just upgraded my linode to Ubuntu 14.04 with the main intention of upgrading php to 5.5.9 so I could run Drupal 8.

However, my linode tells me it's still using PHP 5.3.10

What's the best way of upgrading PHP to 5.5.9 manually?

Thanks

Ubuntu 14.04 (Trusty Tahr) includes PHP 5.5.9 whether you are running it as an Apache module (libapache2-mod-php5) or using FPM (php5-fpm). If you create a test web page with phpinfo(); then what version are you seeing?

dpkg -l | grep php

Should show you which PHP packages are installed, along with their version number.
