how to upgrade php 5.16 to latest

[desibreaker]

hello KWWH,
well i'm tring to reinstall sborg on one of my vps but unfortunately after following the tutorial on sborg i'm unable to get it install as the php.ini file is not being written! I tried to do it manually...but i'm still stuck!
I read on the sborg installation page of my server that the php is not up to date and sborg might not work well, so i think the problem is their but i don't know how to do it!

any help

You can use the following steps to install or upgrade php
1. download the required version from http://www.php.net/ (recommended .tar.gz)
2 extract the file tar -xvzf php-5.3.8.tar.gz
3. cd php-5.3.
then configure the php with the existing configuration
/configure --prefix /usr/local/bin (other options)
4. make
5. make install
