Upgraded to php 5.2.13

Used the php installer to upgrade XAMPP php from 5.2.9 to 5.2.13 but the back end of Joomla is still showing 5.2.9. I can't figure it out.....any help would be appreciated.

I'd love to use the latest version of XAMPP lite Windows but seems both Joomla and Drupal have some extensions/modules that can't work with php 5.3.1

You should run the phpinfo page, it will tell you what is going on,

http://localhost/xampp/phpinfo.php

BTW - you probably didn't do what you thought you did - but I could be wrong too. At any rate XAMPP, (as had been said doxens of times right here) can't effectively be upgraded moduke by module its a suite. (and that is how its supported)
Its too much work to sort out all the problems, primarily with the PHP configuration.

Good Luck
:)

Thank you for the pointers as they are much appreciated. I will do some more reading but for now to save time it was best for me to go back to XAMPP 1.7.1
