I've added these lines to /etc/apt/sources.list

deb http://packages.dotdeb.org wheezy-php56 all
deb-src http://packages.dotdeb.org wheezy-php56 all

But still sudo apt-get update or sudo apt-get upgrade don't touch php.

php --version is still 

PHP 5.4.39-0+deb7u2 (cli) (built: Mar 25 2015 08:33:29)

(Update) Try this (Ubuntu):

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ondrej/php -y
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install php5.6-fpm -y

(Update) For Debian Wheezy (with sudo)

echo "deb http://packages.dotdeb.org wheezy-php56 all" >> /etc/apt/sources.list.d/dotdeb.list
echo "deb-src http://packages.dotdeb.org wheezy-php56 all" >> /etc/apt/sources.list.d/dotdeb.list
wget http://www.dotdeb.org/dotdeb.gpg -O- | apt-key add - 
apt-get update
apt-get install php5-cli php5-fpm ….. (or whatever package you might need)

(Update 21/06/2017) For Debian 8 (jessie)

sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list

Add the following repositories:

...
deb http://mirrors.digitalocean.com/debian jessie main contrib non-free
deb-src http://mirrors.digitalocean.com/debian jessie main contrib non-free

deb http://security.debian.org/ jessie/updates main contrib non-free
deb-src http://security.debian.org/ jessie/updates main contrib non-free

# jessie-updates, previously known as 'volatile'
deb http://mirrors.digitalocean.com/debian jessie-updates main contrib non-free
deb-src http://mirrors.digitalocean.com/debian jessie-updates main contrib non-free

Then update your sources:

sudo apt-get update

Then install the php5-fpm

sudo apt-get install php5-fpm

  • This doesn't seem to work on wheezy. Perhaps it has been removed? See ppa.launchpad.net/ondrej/php5-5.6/ubuntu/dists

  • Doesn't work for me on debian 7. It installed php 5.4 which is the one I already had.

After you have done apt-get update and apt-get upgrade you'll have to do a install with:

sudo apt-get install php5

  • Last version of php in the official wheezy repos is 5.4, so your solution is invalid in this context.
