I have Parallels Plesk 9.2.1, Debian 4 and 5.2.0-8+etch13
Is it safe to upgrade PHP5 to the latest version and how do I do it - I mean is there something special I have to be aware of?
I just did this with Plesk 9.2.1 and got it to work eventually.
In order to upgrade PHP 5 to the needed version please do the following:
back up the directory %plesk_dir%\Additional\PleskPHP5 - just in case something will go wrong
stop the Plesk services (Control Panel and all that are included in the Plesk Run-Time section)
rename folder %plesk_dir%\Additional\PleskPHP5 to the orig_PleskPHP5
create a new folder PleskPHP5
download the needed version of PHP. It should be the PHP 5.2.11 Non-thread-safe zip package.
unzip the content and copy it to the newly created folder PleskPHP5
copy the file php.ini from the old folder to the new one
start the web server services
You will likely need to install this IIS 7 HotFix: FIX: A PHP application that depends on the REQUEST_URI server variable may fail when you run the PHP application in IIS 7.0.
Be aware of is that other versions of PHP were not tested with Plesk 9 (the tested versions are shipped with Plesk).

I'm running Uwamp server under windows7 and it works perfectly with php versions from 5.5 to 7.0.3 and with curl enabled.
When I switch to php 7.2, 7.3 or latest 7.4.3 uwamp server still working - but without curl.
php_curl.dll file is enabled under extensions (ext) but phpinfo() confirms that curl extension is missing / not enabled. I compared php.ini with previous php versions, modified it but it still doesn't work.
cURL is NOT installed on this server
I have testet xampp and this server has no problem with curl and php 7.3/7.4. I compared php.ini etc. but curl extension still not working under Uwamp.
It seems that the author of the project has abandoned it, because there have been no updates or activities since many years. Maybe someone using it and can help me to solve it.
Any idea would be greatly appreciated!
finally got a working solution for this problem of uwamp and running an up to date version of php and getting curl working.
I have sat here for a couple of days trying to work why you couldn't get a later version of php 7.0.3 without breaking uwamp and curl. So I learnt how to integrate and test php apache as standalones and then working on updating uwamp. Lots of head scratching of working out how uwamp uses its on the fly configuration setup.
I will list all the steps to update your version of uwamp (to apache 4.2 and php 7.4.4 as of Mar 2020)
Download uwamp (portable or installer)
Download c++ runtime https://aka.ms/vs/16/release/VC_redist.x86.exe (taken from the windows php page)
Install the runtime above
Install uwamp to a directory (in this example will just use c:\ making it install to c:\uwamp after expanding)
Before running uwamp
Goto to apache lounge website and download the latest 32 build of apache (4.2)
https://www.apachelounge.com/download/VS16/binaries/httpd-2.4.41-win32-VS16.zip
Expand this archive, it should create a folder called apache2.4
Step in to this directory and copy all the files and paste them here in your uwamp folder (c:\uwamp\bin\apache). This should overwrite all the apache files and add the latest apachephp dll
TIP. Just make sure you havent expanded the apache2.4 zip in the uwamp apache folder, easy to tell as you will see a apache24 appear
Goto to php.net and download the latest THREAD SAFE version of php (7.4.4)
https://windows.php.net/downloads/releases/php-7.4.4-Win32-vc15-x86.zip
Extract the php zip this folder in to the c:\uwamp\bin\php in to a new folder with name of php-7.4.4 (so the files should be in c:\uwamp\bin\php\php-7.4.4)
There you are, you have completed your manual upgrade of uwamp , run uwamp and if no errors appear with in the GUI, everything should be working. Test by opening a browser and use http://localhost/uwamp/phpinfo or http://127.0.0.1/uwamp/phpinfo or click the "phpinfo button" in the uwamp GUI
This way seems to allowed an upgrade of uwamp (except sql) but resolve a common problem of php and curl not working / breaking.
This works for x86 version installed on a 32/64 bit system.
Still trying to work out the kinks for uwamp to be running 64 bit apache and php but should be possible.
Try and delete the version of PHP that is affected by the missing Curl extension and then re-download the version from inside the AWamp interface. I have had similar problems with other extensions and have solved it this way.
I'm trying to use newest version of Wamp and I also need php7 version.
My problem is:
When start WAMP show me 0xc000007b error
Orange icon - start 2 of 3 service
SHow me the error on PHP path
When try to install 'wampapache' show me again 0xc000007b error
I have Win7 and Service Pack 1 and also all necessary Visual C++ libraries.
WAMPServer runs all its internal scripts using PHP5.6.38 as that is what they have been tested on. It has nothing to do with the version of PHP that will run with your Web Server.
You should never put any version of PHP onto your Windows PATH. WAMPServer is to flexible as it can have any number of versions of PHP installed which you can switch to with a simple menu click. V3 comes with 3 versions of PHP installed out of the box. See this answer for an explanation
If you are getting an 0xc000007b error, then most likely you dont have all the required MSVC RUntime libraries installed OR you didnt when you installed WAMPServer. If you installed them AFTER you installed WAMPServer, then uninstall WAMPServer, delete the wamp folder, and then reinstall WAMPServer AFTER you are sure ALL the MSVC Runtimes are installed. (without them the install can fail to complete all its processes.
You can find a handy utility on the WAMPServer Backup Repo called Checks VC++ packages installed It is down nearly at the bottom of the page.
You can also find a Downloadable ZIP file containing ALL the necessary MSVC Runtimes on the bottom of that page. If the Checker reports any missing MSVC Runtimes, download that too, unzip it and run EACH of the MSVC RUntime Installs in Version order (one by one). If you see a dialog saying this version is already installed, us the REPAIR button and this will ensure it is properly installed and the correct version.
I replaced my 2.1 version of WampServer with the 3.1.4 64 bit version. Everything worked after the installation. But I need to have php 5.4 and that doesn't come with this version of WS. So I downloaded that version, made the changes to the various files as mentioned here and other places. But when I switch to 5.4 it doesn't start.
I ran the "Check State of Services" tool and it said this
State of services:
The service 'wampapache64' is NOT started EXIT error code:1066 Help
message for error code 1066 is: The service has returned a
service-specific error code.
The service 'wampmysqld64' is started
The service 'wampmariadb64' is started
The service 'dnscache' is started
WampServer (Apache, PHP and MySQL) will not function properly if any
service 'wampapache64' 'wampmysqld64' 'wampmariadb64' 'dnscache' is
not started.
And the "Check http.conf" tool said
httpd.exe: Syntax error on line 195 of
C:/wamp64/bin/apache/apache2.4.35/conf/ht tpd.conf: Cannot load
c:/wamp64/bin/php/php-5.4.9/php5apache2_4.dll into server: %1 is not
a valid Win32 application.
And line 195 of that file is
LoadModule php5_module
"${INSTALL_DIR}/bin/php/php-5.4.9/php5apache2_4.dll"
Is it failing because the dll file is for the wrong version or do to something else? I've tried to locate a php5apache2_4.dll file for 32 bit but I couldn't find one.
I've spent most of the weekend on this and if I can't get it going I will need to go back to my previous version since I work on more sites using 5.4 than later versions. I hope I don't have to do that.
If you are using WAMPServer 3 or greater then there are a multitude of versions of PHP that can be downloaded as ADDONS. In other words installed into WAMPServer with a simple download and click to install.
I suggest you remove the manually installed version of PHP and use the provided downloads.
They are available from SourceForgce, but they are a LOT EASIER to find on the WAMPServer backup repo
It looks like you may need to use the 32bit WAMPServer 3.1.4 as there does not appear to be a 64bit PHP5.4 available in the ADDON list.
You may also find that you need to download an older version of Apache to get PHP5.4 to run as Apache and PHP have to be installed to versions that are compatibly compiled.
But with WAMPServer 3 there are 16 versions of Apache and 50 or so versions of PHP.
EDIT: In answer to your comment
If you uninstall the 64bit WAMPServer (after backing up site code and any databases) and install the 32bit WAMPServer V3.1.4.
The version of Apache i.e. V2.4.35 that comes with WAMPServer3.1.4 will run PHP5.4.45. So once you have WAMPServer 3.1.4 installed and working (check it works before continuing) you can download and install the ADDON for PHP5.4.45
Then using the wampmanager menu, switch to PHP5.4.45.
The version of MySQL is not directly link to Apache/PHP so the version that comes with WAMPServer V3.1.4 will work just fine.
It would also be a good idea to apply the WAMPServer 3.1.5 upgrade to WAMPServer 3.1.4 so you are totoally upto date with WAMPServer
I'm developing one web application, using PHP eclipse IDE.
For an instance i want to switch from one PHP version to another version which resides in different location.
Below is my working environment :
1) Having Centos OS
2) PHP 5.1.6 have installed already while installing centos OS
3) Above PHP is installed in /usr/bin/ path
4) I have installed LAMPP in /opt/lampp
5) In LAMPP present PHP 5.2.6 version
I want to configure local web server such that lampp should choose PHP 5.1.6 (which resides in /opt/lampp )
I am not aware of this switching of PHP version.
Please suggest me how should i configure this switching of PHP version in my local web server.
Which configuration file should i choose for modifying this change.
Thanks a lot !!!

This guide is a great guide and will get you started!
Another alternative would be to install Xampp, as I believe they provide a batch file that helps you switch versions of PHP in a second.

Best way to Upgrade wamp 2.0 to 2.5
(4 answers)
Closed 4 years ago.
I had faced two problems with Wamp.
1) I cannot upgrade the php version. I tried a recommended way https://john-dugan.com/upgrade-php-wamp/ , but it didn't work.
2) I cannot change the php version from 5.6.16 to 7.0.0 (the default versions of wamp)
These problems showed up when I added a Magento framework in my wamp server. The only version which accepted for Magento setup are 5.6.5, 7.0.2, 7.0.4, 7.0.6
What Can I do?
Via This answer
Download binaries on php.net (ZIP package based on your PC bit That package should php.exe file)
Extract all files in a new folder :C:/wamp/bin/php/php(7.0.0)/
Copy the wampserver.conf from another php folder (like php/php5.6.16/) to the new folder
Rename php.ini-development file to phpForApache.ini
Restart WampServer
If you are using a version of WAMPServer > 3.0 then there are lots of simple php ADDON installs that you can pick from
See SourceForge repo for all the available PHP ADDONS
Or the backup Repo which can be easier to navigate than SourceForge.
These are simply download and run the installs. It will just add another PHP folder in the usual place in the wamp folder structure.
You can then Switch to the new release and back again to older releases using the wampmanager menus.
Note: There are also many versions of Apache and MySQL as well.
And if you upgrade to WAMPServer 3.0.8 (again a simple download and click the install), you can also add MariaDB installs as well.
