Upgrading PHP in XAMPP for Windows?

Question

Hi,

I would like to know how you upgrade PHP in Xampp for Windows? I tried to download the latest PHP version from the main PHP site but when I check (phpinfo) I still get that the previous version is still in use.

Please advise.

Thanks

Answer 1

I think you need to actually download and install XAMPP with the desired PHP version. I dont think you can just upgrade the components of XAMPP individually unless there is a facility provided for this within XAMPP itself.

Answer 2

take backup of ur htdocs and data folder(subfolder of mysql folder) and reinstall upgrade version and replace these folder.

Answer 3

There are newer beta versions of Xampp that come with newer PHP upgrades.
