How to change PHP version

[bruno-barros]

A tried to change PHP version...

default['php']['version'] = '5.4.27'

but no change happened. The PHP version is always 5.3.10.
Is it possible? How would I accomplished that?

That default['php']['version'] only matters, I believe, when the value for node['php']['install_method'] is source. Otherwise, you're at the mercy of whatever the package manager's repositories on your system pulls down since package is the default value.

I've had some luck changing it up on my forked repo (https://github.com/AdventurousWebDesign/vagrant-lamp). I needed to use PHP 5.3, but you could take the principals and install whatever you'd like.
