The package names all include the version of PHP. You can't "apt-get install php", true, but you *can* "apt-get install php5" or "apt-get install php4". As others have mentioned, you may also want to try "apt-cache search", although, admittedly, the sheer bulk of packages mentioning php ("apt-cache search php" returns 408 results) could make this a more time-consuming route than would be ideal. -- News aggregation meets world domination.
