Hi:

I'm running Sarge (Stable) as well. MySQL 5/PHP 5 are available via
backports. Put the following into your sources list;

'deb http://www.backports.org/debian/ sarge-backports main'

And in 'etc/apt' create a "preferences" file, and add the following to
it;

Package: *
Pin: release a=sarge-backports
Pin-Priority: 200

Package: php5*
Pin: release a=sarge-backports
Pin-Priority: 999

Package: mysql
Pin: release a=sarge-backports
Pin-Priority: 999

This should allow you to get the versions of both that you require.
