Hi all,

I'm currently using XAMPP and I have discovered that it's using PHP 5.2.9. So, I'm attempting to upgrade my PHP.

I did the following:

Attempt #1
1. Downloaded "php-5.3.0-Win32-VC9-x86.zip" from http://windows.php.net/download/
2. Backed up current PHP folder
3. Extracted new files to C:\xampp\php\ (overwrote existing files)
4. Renamed "php.ini-development" to "php.ini"
5. Uncommented necessary extensions
6. Started server
7. Result: Failed (phpinfo() -> 5.2.9)

Attempt #2
1. Downloaded "php-5.3.0-Win32-VC9-x86.zip" from http://windows.php.net/download/
2. Backed up current PHP folder
3. Extracted new files to C:\xampp\php\ (Deleted all old files first)
4. Renamed "php.ini-development" to "php.ini"
5. Uncommented necessary extensions
6. Started server
7. Result: Failed (phpinfo() -> 5.2.9)

Any idea what's going wrong?
