Hello, I would like to ask a question please.
How can I update my xampp?? for example if a new verion of php is released how can I update my xampp so to get the new version working?

Would you be so kind as to add your current XAMPP version and Operating System to your profile as per these instructions and associated information:

It is important.
Thanks.

ok I added it. Please note that my question is more general, so to know how to do it. I tried once in the past, with an older version of xampp, to update its php by pasting in xampp folder the new php.ini, but it only returned errors. Luckily I had a backup of my .ini file and replaced it again and fixed it.

Thanks for updating your profile.

Apache is compiled with PHP as a module in XAMPP and is not possible to upgrade independently unless you know how to recompile.

Best waiting for an upgrade release or a new version release - usually there will be a forum announcement as there just has been for the first beta 1.8.0 version release and will also be published on the XAMPP web page.

Best wishes.
