I tried several ways to upgrade PHP on my Ubuntu 14.04 machine from 5.5.9 to 5.6. It was not easy, at least it worked like described on http://devdocs.magento.com/guides/v2.0/install-gde/prereq/php-ubuntu.html.
Typing php -v shows
code
PHP 5.6.25-2+deb.sury.org~trusty+1 (cli)

Zend Engine v2.6.0, Copyright © 1998-2016 Zend Technologies
with Zend OPcache v7.0.6-dev, Copyright © 1999-2016, by Zend Technologiescode
looks good so far…
But phpinfo still shows
code
PHP Version 5.5.9-1ubuntu4.19code
How can I enforce apache to use PHP 5.6??

a2dismod and a2enmod didn’t work. I found the following solution based on the answer on http://askubuntu.com/questions/776164/ubuntu-14-04-problems-upgrading-php-to-5-6
now phpinfo() shows
PHP Version 5.6.26-1+deb.sury.org~trusty+1
So I would say it works… ;)

The instructions above are not applicable to Ubuntu 14.04 anymore.
It doesn’t work anymore due to Ubuntu 14.04 End Of Life (Apr 2019).
The ppa maintainer has dropped support for Ubuntu 14.04, the supported releases is as follow:
In my case i needed to work with php 7.0 and the following worked:
sudo a2dismod php5; sudo a2enmod php7.0; sudo service apache2 restart;
Hope this helps !
