I've got PHP 5.25 from my Web-Developer Server Suite install on Windows 7, but I want to upgrade it to PHP 5.38 to be able to run some scripts that require PHP 5.3+.

PHP 5.25 is what came packaged with Web-Developer Server Suite, but I want to upgrade it.

Apache/2.2.6 (Win32) PHP/5.2.5 mod_ssl/2.2.6 is what is shown on 404 pages on Apache as my version of PHP.

How would I accomplish this without damaging my server install too much? Should I rename my current PHP folder (php5) to something like php5.old and install it to C:/www/php5 (current location) or is there another solution?

I would really appreciate some help on this; I don't often do PHP upgrades but need the latest one for Windows 7 to run some frameworks that need PHP 5.3.

Finally, is my current build of Apache VC9 compatible or not (this is for compatibility purposes) - just in case I need to update Apache as well.
