Php upgrade from 5.3 to php 5.6 on Ubuntu 12.04

Question

I am following this tutorial on upgrading php from ver 5.3 to 5.6 :http://phpave.com/upgrade-php-53-to-php-56-on-ubuntu-1204-lts/

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ondrej/php5-5.6
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

The problem is that apache is also upgraded. Is it possible to update only php without upgrading apache server ?

Solution

sudo LC_ALL=C.UTF-8 add-apt-repository ppa:ondrej/php
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install php5.6
