I have XAMPP 1.8.3 installed on my windows 7 machine. Which include PHP 5.5.6. I want to upgrade the PHP to 5.6 version. Is it possible to do the upgrade while keeping the XAMPP bundle other module as it is (Apache, MySQL). Can any one suggest a way to do upgrade on windows 7.
Download the package from following url:
http://windows.php.net/download/. Make sure the “Thread Safe” zip
file with around 20MB was downloaded.
Extract and rename the folder to “php”.
Rename the existing “php” folder to something and place the new
bundle with folder name “php”.
Then restart the apache server. It will simply load the new PHP
version.
Try like this:
How to upgrade php in xampp:-
Lots of time you need to use multiple version of php for your
different project. In this case either you want to install xampp on
different port or you can install one xampp and upgrade php. In this
article I will demonstrate how you can upgrade php in your xampp
server. I will demonstrate the complete process by adding PHP 5.4
with XAMPP. Following is the step by step process of upgrading php
in your xampp server. Before trying these steps please take complete
backup of your code and database alognwith xampp because any small
mistake can lead to the corruption of your regular XAMPP.
Upgrade PHP in XAMPP server
Download PHP : If you are using xampp ofcourse you are using windows operating system. So first download your desired version of php binary from http://windows.php.net/download/ website. Be careful while choosing binary. If you are using XAMPP then your webserver is apache. So always download Thread Safe binary. Also read the compiler suggestion carefully on the windows.php.net site. I will recommend to download zip version.
Configure New PHP Version with your xampp: Unzip the downloaded version of the PHP in a separate folder. Please make sure that your new php folder name is not “PHP”. May be you can use folder name as the version name. For example for php 5.4 you can use php54. Copy the new php folder into your xampp folder. Now go to yourxampp/apache/conf/extra folder. Open file httpd-xampp.conf from the folder extra. Change the following variables:
Variable PHPINIDir to be your xampp folder new version of PHP
Varaible LoadModule to be your xampp folder/new version of PHP/php5apache2_2.dll
Save the file httpd-xampp.conf. Restart your XAMPP apache server. If your server get restarted successfully then your server php version is upgraded. You can check the status of your php version by URL http://localhost/xampp/phpinfo.php .

So basically i am trying to run yii-framework on wamp server but required higher version of php (5.4 above). In my Wamp server, the php version is 5.5 which i have checked on browser (localhost). But the when i run it on windows, it fails because the windows version is only 5.3. It causes the yii framework fail too because when i type php requirements.php. it does not work.
There is no Windows version of PHP so basically you must have installed a version of PHP manually i.e. not with WAMPServer.
This will probably have added an entry on you PATH ( always a bad idea when using WAMPServer anyway as you can have many versions of PHP on your system at one time with WAMPServer)
Look at your PATH and if you must, amend it to point to the PHP in \wamp\bin\php\php{version}
A better way is to remove any reference to PHP from the PATH environmant variable and write a simple batch file to add php to your path only when you want to, like this
Batch file saved in C:\windows\phppath.cmd
echo off
PATH=%PATH%;c:\wamp\bin\php\php5.4.16
Assuming you have php5.4.16 on your wampserver install.
I have IIS 7 and Plesk 10.4.4 on my Cloud Server. I need to update php version. Right now php is being served by Plesk, and I don't know how to update it with Plesk.
I've managed to install the latest version with IIS 7 and Php Manager, so I was wondering, how can I force php serving through IIS instead of Plesk? Is it possible?
Thanks.
PHP it's just binary file you can take necessary complied files and just replace it where it installed in plesk %plesk_dir%\Additional\pleskphp5, but you have to create backup of replaced files and preserve all current permissions.
There possible issues with future upgrade to next plesk version, because files replacement can make Windows Installer crazy.
Btw Plesk 11.5 has feature which allows to add your own PHP handlers.
I am working on an older project that uses functions not supported by the newer PHP version included in my version of XAMPP.
I want to temporarily change to an older version of PHP, so I'm looking for a way to switch between PHP versions in XAMPP.
Unfortunately, refactoring to use the newer version of PHP is not an option.
I would not dare to 'temporarily' shift my development machine.
I would suggest installing a virtual machine manager like VirtualBox and then install a older version of XAMPP in there.
I am really disappointed with the responses on this.
WAMP allows you to switch between PHP and MySQL versions pretty easily...
I did following steps on Windows:
Download your XAMPP with your desired PHP version (the VC-11.zip version)
Unzip on C:/xamppXXXX/ (XXXX -> Your PHP version, for example), so you'll have both C:/xampp/ (your first installed version) and the new.
3a. Find in all .conf, .ini, .bat files from the xamppXXXX folder /xampp/ and replace for C:/xamppXXXX/. You can use any IDE like SublimeText to find the string.
3b. Find in all .conf files from the xamppXXXX folder \xampp\ and replace for \xamppXXXX\
You can start MySQL from your installed version control panel and open the C:/xamppXXXX/xampp-control.exe and launch Apache from this one.
I did this with php7 installed and php5 from zip and working fine. Opening different instances of XAMPP Control Panel is the best way to have all databases together and not losing them between versions.
Dont' use XAMPP for this. Use MAMP. It's a single click
Trying to upgrade from PHP 5.2.5 to 5.2.17 (and then to 5.3.6 once that works) on IIS 6.0, installing the language itself runs just fine and I changed the PHP.ini/ect locations that IIS uses for PHP, everything still works but when I run PHP info on my site it still says it's running PHP 5.2.5. Restarted IIS, restarted the server even, no difference. What do I do to change which version/what location of PHP IIS is using?
When I install PHP 5.3.6 the site no longer works, so I know installing different versions is doing SOMETHING, but I think it might only be changing the PHP.ini my server is using, not the version of PHP.
In addition to installing the windows binary release of PHP I've also tried installing PHP from Microsoft's Web Platform Installer (both 5.3.6 and 5.2.17), after installing neither showed up as the current version in phpinfo either.
If you want to use php 5.3, you must install IIS FastCGI extension and run PHP as cgi script. From php 5.3 isapi is not supported. But everything works fine if you configure it, and as benefit you can use more php version simultaneously. IIS 6 is not a problem. Download PHP non thread safe.
For details see this, for example: http://learn.iis.net/page.aspx/247/using-fastcgi-to-host-php-applications-on-iis-60/
Download the latest VC11 x86 Non Thread Safe version of PHP from http://windows.php.net/download/
Once the zip is downloaded, right click on the zip file and select properties. Make sure you unblock the file.
Rename your current PHP folder to PHPold.
Find your php.ini file and rename it to phpold.ini
Extract the zip file to c:\temp\php.
Copy the php folder from c:\temp to wherever your old PHP folder was.
Go to your new php folder and copy php.ini-production and paste it to where your old php.ini file was
Rename php.ini-production to php.ini
On the server, make sure you have Notepad++ along with the Compare plugin. If you need the compare plugin, use these steps. http://www.davidtan.org/how-to-compare-two-text-files-using-notepad-plus/
In the location that stores your phpold.ini and php.ini, right click on each of those files and open them with Notepad++. On the php.ini, only make changes to the lines with the >> next to them.
Once the changes have been made, make sure you save php.ini.
Go to Services and restart IIS.
Solution has been to move to Apache in my case. IIS 7 has better tools but IIS has proven to be a poor environment for development in this case.
I tried to install xampp (I downloaded xampp-win32-upgrade-1.7.2-1.7.3). After I finish extracting it gives fatal error :
failed opening required : G:\xampp\install\xampp_xampp_php'
in G:\xampp\setup_xampp.bat on line 33
Did I download wrong archive. I'm installing on windows 7 64 bit.I don't have any preinstalled xampp.
Uhm just out of curiosity, if you don't have xampp installed, why did you get the upgrade version instead of the final one? Get the basic package instead
It's because you downloaded the 32 bit version, hence the 'win32' in the name.
You can also try a new WAMP Stack called AMPPS by Softaculous.

You can download xampp from Apache-friends. In there select your operating system such as windows / Linux etc.. Then in the download section click on xampp. Then you will see the link called "installer" click on it. and your download will start and it.
Download and install the software to your computer. If the application control start automatically it is fine. If not you can go to the folder where the xampp is downloaded and then check for xampp control click on it and open it.
Then what you have to do is starting Apache to access to our localhost. So you click on the start button right in front of Apache. And that you will see it starts running.
It is there described properly. How to install xampp. check it.
I installed it on Windows 10 and it installs quite easily as long as you have the correct version. I only chose Apache and MariaDB during installation. As I am using an earlier version of MySQL and using IIS, I will have to modify the MySQL and Apache to work on my computer. Although the installation web site says MariaDB, I still see MySQL. Perhaps I need to upgrade to MariaDB.
Here you can find more details with some screen shots:

You just have to go to Xampp site and download new related version. it is easy to install
uninstall your xampp, and craete backup your file , install 64 bit version
This error comes when the Downloaded archive is damaged.
Please follow some steps it may help you:
Just delete temporary files in you System using Run Command
RUN-> TEMP
RUN-> %TEMP%
