May 13, 2015 at 10:38 comment added twigg @xIcarus sorry I had a typo in my above packages make sure the second one reads 'deb-src' and not 'deb-src deb'. First thing, remove all php versions you have installed. Open /etc/apt/sources.list in nano or vim, make sure the above two source lists are added, then run 'apt-get -o Acquire::Check-Valid-Until=false update' and then run 'apt-cache policy php5' you should see both version 5.6.x and 5.3.10-2. Then install passing the version number 'apt-get install php5=5.3.10-2'

May 13, 2015 at 10:29 comment added twigg @xIcarus sorry only just seen your replay, I don't always get updates for some reason. I only have one live Debian system so can't really test at the moment, what version is returned when you run apt-cache policy php5?
May 13, 2015 at 8:31 comment added xIcarus Update: i managed to purge out all php versions in my system. But when I try to install php 5.3.10 again like you instructed, it just installs php 5.6.7-1 for some reason.. Any ideas? I even tried with aptitude (although it shouldn't make a difference) but to no avail.
May 12, 2015 at 16:57 comment added xIcarus Thank you a lot for your reply. It seems to have worked, but I ran into another huge issue. I tried purging php5 from my system using apt-get purge php*. This seemed to have done the trick, but after I installed php 5.3.10 as you instructed, if I print out phpinfo() it shows me that version 5.6.7-1, and if I type php -v in the terminal emulator, it sais that there is a php 5.3.29 present on my system..? I also tried purging apache and deleting both apache and php folders to no avail. Did I do anything wrong? Shouldn't apt-get purge uninstall the given packages? and why 2 php versions?
