Does your internet work?
ping yahoo.com

for example...

If so, what's in your sources.list file?
cat /etc/apt/sources.list

I believe the php5 package is a "security" package... look for this
line in the sources.list file:
deb http://security.debian.org/ wheezy/updates main

If all that is good to go, then everything should work.  You can try:
sudo apt-cache show php5

to verify the package details.
