Pre-requisites
You will need these two extra packages if you don't have them:
sudo apt-get install build-essential libxml2-dev
Install PHP
In terminal:
wget http://in1.php.net/distributions/php-5.3.29.tar.bz2 tar -xvf php-5.3.29.tar.bz2 cd php-5.3.29 ./configure make make test # Neither mandatory nor a bad idea. sudo make install
The instructions will untar the source build and they will install php in your system.

I've just installed Ubuntu 14.04 and am trying to install php 5.3. But when I run
it's installing php 5.5.9-1ubuntu4. I need to use php 5.3 in the system because the application I'm working on is built with php 5.3.
How can I achieve this?
