    Which is the up-to-date package for debian (see here and does it match your version? Debian usually is a bit behind with the versions due to their intense stability testing. For the bleeding-edge version either go Debian testing (or even unstable) or manually install versions (which can be a problem with dependencies). Commented Aug 24, 2015 at 20:38
  • This is by design. Changes to Debian stable are mostly restricted to security updates. Programs for which security patches cannot easily be backported are upgraded, such as browsers, but these are exceptions. What version of PHP are you using, and what version do you want? Please be specific. Commented Aug 24, 2015 at 22:36

  • I have PHP 5.6.9-0+deb8u1 (according to phpinfo()) and Debian 8.1. I want the PHP version I would get if I installed the server from scratch. And I don't know exactly what the "testing" update branch is and if it's good for me. Commented Aug 25, 2015 at 6:14
