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.
