Updating PHP

Comming from debian I'm a little spoiled in that my project currently depends on php5.1-cvs. It's a fairly simple setup in Linux, but Xampp seems to be giving me troubles.

I downloaded a windows snapshot, http://snaps.php.net/, then switched the php folders out. It gave me a few errors with the /ext not being able to find stuff as well as a couple of other files missing, so I copied over the missing files. That cleared the errors, but to my surprise phpinfo() still showed php5.0.5. It even showed that if I left the errors intact. So I'm wondering if I'm missing anything to switch php versions in xampp?

To answer the obvious, I am restarting apache. It's getting late so I don't have time to go rooting through config files, but if someone knows if there is a binary or something xampp backs up or keeps hidden, that would be nice to know.

It's not that big of a deal, Windows isn't too good for development, it would just be nice to test on it now and then.

Any thoughts are welcomed,
capiCrimm :D

Nevermind, I just installed the setup by hand. A little quicker than installing Xampp, and it didn't include all that extra junk it installs.

Thanks.
