Hi

I am running xampp-win32-1.7.4 and installed it via the windows installer, now I would like to 'upgrade' / install myphpadmin version 3.4.5
how would I go about it? just drop myphpadmin folder into the xampp installation?

thanks in advance for helping

XAMPP 1.7.6 comes with phpMyAdmin 3.4.5 installed if that is an option for you.

Otherwise, it is possible to update it by hand but I wouldn't just overwrite everything. The phpMyAdmin directory itself does not have any XAMPP-specific stuff in it so it can be more or less replaced (you may want to save any custom settings in your config.inc.php file if you have made any) but I generally try not to overwrite stuff. Depending on which version you have now, there may be changed to the phpMyAdmin SQL database too. There is a .sql file in the phpMyAdmin/scripts directory that will add/upgrade the tables. I don't see why you couldn't follow the phpMyAdmin documentation to see if there is anything else you need to do or know before you try it out.
