The latest version of PHP is 5.2.1, I'm using PHP 5.2.0.

I've downloaded the installer for windows. Do I need to remove the older version one in order to upgrade it?

Any ideas? Or any good tutorial out there? I've tried to search, but I don't get any informative tutorial.

My current platform.
1)Window XP Home
2)Apache 2.23
3)Mysql 5.0
4)PHP 5.20

I use Uniform Server (not an 'installer' version of apache, etc...) but I just drop in the pre-compiled binaries from php.net, edit the php.ini to suit me and (re)start the service.

If you're not seriously entrenched already in your setup I encourage you to give Uniform Server a try - it's absolutely production grade, and best of all: it's portable! It comes complete with MySQL, phpMyAdmin, PERL, apache, php, etc...
