PHP 5.4 is stable for quite some time now. However, when I type

apt-get install php5

PHP 5.3 gets installed.

Question: Why? And what is the preferred way of installing PHP 5.4? Should I choose a different package or should I change the sources? If so, what exactly is the name of the other package or source?

Background information

The server is running Debian Wheezy x64.

Debian Wheezy ships with PHP 5.4.4 as can be seen on packages.debian.org. Are you sure that you have Debian 7.0 Wheezy installed? You can test that by running the lsb_release -a command.

Look at /etc/apt/sources.list and /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ too. Do not forget to run apt-get update prior to apt-get install.
