There is no problem installing a new copy of PHP into it's own directory, and then changing your Apache httpd.conf to point to the new copy. Nothing else is affected by this, and it should be possible to switch between versions of PHP simply by restoring the old copy of httpd.conf. The only thing to watch out for is where your php.ini file is being stored. httpd.conf an supply a location for this, but many WAMP setups simply use a copy in the c:\windows directory. If this is the case, then it is worth adding a PHPINIDir to the new httpd.conf pointing to a copy of php.ini in your new copy of PHP. http://php.net/manual/en/install.windows.apache2.php -- Lester Caine - G8HFL ----------------------------- Contact - http://lsces.co.uk/wiki/?page=contact L.S.Caine Electronic Services - http://lsces.co.uk EnquirySolve - http://enquirysolve.com/ Model Engineers Digital Workshop - http://medw.co.uk// Firebird - http://www.firebirdsql.org/index.php
