When I installed, I installed the whole Linux/Apache/MySQL/PHP package using these instructions:
https://help.ubuntu.com/co
It depends on which version of PHP you want to install. The CGI, CLI, or apache2 version. You can do:
apt-get update
apt-get install php5 php5-cgi php5-cli php5-mysql php5-curl php5-gd php5-imap php5-imagick php-fpdf php5-ming
This will install the common files for php5, as well as the CGI version, the CLI version (command line interpreter) and some commonly used modules (like MySQL, curl, imap, gd libraries, etc). Configuration files for php on Ubuntu will be found in /etc/php5/cgi for CGI, /etc/php5/apache2 (for apache2), etc.
All these assume a network source (debian mirror) to be setup in /etc/apt/sources.list
For Lenny this would be:
deb http://ftp.debian.de/debia
deb-src http://ftp.debian.de/debia
deb http://security.debian.org
deb-src http://security.debian.org
Goodluck!
