I dont want to build from source and was looking to find some repository where I can simply do an apt-get install php5 and get the latest version. Does anyone know of any reliable source I can use to do the same or is the only option I have to build it myself?

There is PPA (Personal Package Archive) repository with PHP 5.3.6 at https://launchpad.net/~bjori/+archive/php5 with installation instructions. As I checked there is amd64 build as well (lucid).
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:bjori/php5
sudo apt-get update
sudo aptitude show php5
Package: php5
State: not installed
Version: 5.3.6-8ubuntu0ppa4~lucid1
Priority: optional
Section: php
Maintainer: Hannes Magnusson <[email protected]>
..
sudo aptitude install php5 php5-cli
php -v
PHP 5.3.6-8ubuntu0ppa4~lucid1 (cli) (built: May 5 2011 22:11:21)

Note that you need to enable universe repository for that.
