The repositories on Ubuntu Dapper don’t have php 5.2. To install php 5.2, I added the hardy repositories.
vi /etc/apt/sources.list
add the repositories
deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ hardy main restricted
deb-src http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ hardy main restricted
then run
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install php5
This tried to install and upgrade a lot of packages including apache. I really needed php 5.2 and since the server is a development server, I accepted all the changes.
