PHP 5.5.4, for Debian 7.0 "Wheezy"

September 22, 2013 · Guillaume Plessis

On September 19th 2013, the PHP group has released PHP 5.5.4. This release fixes several bugs against PHP 5.5.3. All PHP users are encouraged to upgrade to this new version.

As a consequence, PHP 5.5.4 packages are now available on Dotdeb for Debian 7.0 “Wheezy”, on both amd64 and i386 architectures.

Please read the Changelog and the migration guide (be aware of the backward incompatible changes) before upgrading.

Last but not least, if you find Dotdeb useful, you may want to show your support.

Hello, if I run “aptitude install php5”, the command tell me that the apache2{a} package will be installed. I would like to know if it’s possible to install this package without apache2 (because I use nginx) ? Thanks.

```
apt-get install php5-fpm
```
