Any particular reason why you want 5.2.3 specifically? – andol Dec 5 '09 at 16:52
Yes. I want to run Kohana framework. It is a requirement (kohanaphp.com) – Cudos Dec 5 '09 at 16:58
Seems as if the Kohana Requirements page say "PHP version >= 5.2.3". That is, you need 5.2.3, or newer. – andol Dec 5 '09 at 17:04
Correct, I need 5.2.3 or newer. – Cudos Dec 5 '09 at 17:16

Not directly from official Debian repositories but you can 'backport' newer PHP packages yourself if really needed.

It requires a few development packages, a few packaging knowledge and time.

Some people already did

Yes. Change your apt sources to fetch from unstable.

Actually, Debian unstable currently has PHP 5.2.11. The same goes for testing (squeeze). – andol Dec 5 '09 at 16:54
Ok, based on new info, never mind I guess. – andol Dec 5 '09 at 17:04
