Install php 5.3.12 on ubuntu 14.04
Installation from source code is not difficult but I want to share how to do it with older php version on Ubuntu 14.04
First of all we need to get php source code and extract it into some directory
mkdir -p ~/Downloads/php-5.3.12 cd ~/Downloads/php-5.3.12 wget http://museum.php.net/php5/php-5.3.12.tar.gz tar zxf php-5.3.12.tar.gz cd php-5.3.12
After that we must install some libraries:
apt-get install libxml2-dev apt-get install libpcre3-dev apt-get install libbz2-dev apt-get install libdb4.8-dev apt-get install libjpeg-dev apt-get install libpng12-dev apt-get install libxpm-dev apt-get install libfreetype6-dev apt-get install libt1-dev apt-get install libgd2-xpm-dev apt-get install libgmp-dev apt-get install libmysqlclient-dev apt-get install libmhash-dev apt-get install unixodbc-dev apt-get install freetds-dev apt-get install libpspell-dev apt-get install libsnmp-dev apt-get install libtidy-dev apt-get install libxslt1-dev apt-get install libmcrypt-devAnd of course
apt-get install makeAfter that we create Makefile. In this case we will install php in
/usr/share/php5.3.12

make && make installResult must be this:
