We ran into this same problem.  We had Hardy servers and needed php5.3
for some important bug fixes (among other things).    There is no
Ubuntu Hardy repo for 5.3 (that I know of at least).

You can either try to get away with adding the Debian Lenny repos and
using them to install (this might mess up other things, possibly
badly):

Or install from source:

Or upgrade to Lucid, which has 5.3 in its repos.
