Gnope (PHP-GTK) - How to Drop a later version of php into the Gnope directory

Question

I have installed the latest version of Gnope onto my PC

See: http://www.gnope.org/download.php (Release 1.5.1)

Gnope installs its own copy of PHP ( 5.1.4 CLI version).

However, PHP version 5.1 is sooo old. I'd like to use a later version with gnope.

I'm considering dropping a later version of PHP into that folder - but I am not sure whether it will break things.

So:

• Has anyone else used PHP 5.2.* with Gnope?
• Gnope uses the CLI version of PHP - is there a CLI version of PHP 5.2.13, if so where can i download it?

If its all too difficult I might just ditch Gnope in favour of my own PHP-GTK installation as described here

but if its a simple process then it might be worth keeping all the gnope-like features of the gnope installation

UPDATE: I gave up on gnope

and did this instead:
