how to install php on Ubuntu?

I tried

ed@ed-desktop:~$ sudo apt-get install libapache-mod-php4 php4-mysql php4-
gd
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
Package libapache-mod-php4 is not available, but is referred to by
another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source
E: Package libapache-mod-php4 has no installation candidate
ed@ed-desktop:~$

It does not work. Does anyone know the correct command?

thanks, Ed
