Upgrading PHP

[nightstryke]

Hi, I'm using Debian 7 with PHP 5.4 installed.

Could someone give me a tutorial on how to upgrade VestaCP to php 5.5?
There's some server software I'd like to run that is not compatible with php 5.4

You don't need to do anything special with Vesta all you have to do is find in google how to update php.
Here is an example but its for Centos 6.5 but all you need to do is us apt-get instead of yum.
