yeah, you have WAY too much php5 modules install.

volksman told you to install a bunch of php-something package, that is
way too much stuff... they only one you need where:
php5
php5-common
php5-mysql (for mysql support)
php5-gd (for image modification support)

My solution would be to remove all the extra package, and type "php -v"
in the console again to see something similar

and it's normal that PHP didn't drop back to the prompt, it was waiting
for a input.

try this, if still doesn't work, I just wrote you a walkthrough to debug
this (I install apache+php on my laptop just for you!)
