how to update php 4.0.6 to 4.1.1

Post by purshotamram »

Can someone please tell how to update a php 4.0.6 to 4.1.1 version. I checked it on the php site but there is a patch file given for this and don't know why this patch file is not executable with any winzip programme.
is there any other way to update the old version with the new one without changing the previous settings.

Save a backup of your php.ini file then install the latest version of PHP over your older one. When it comes to sorting out the php.ini get the one you backed up and the new one and go through the new one adjusting the settings based on what's in the other php.ini.

Just curious, but any reason why you're updating to 4.1.1 and not the latest version of PHP? (4.2.2)

The file you download it is probably "tar.gz" and you need a extractor which supports this extension. Try Power Archiver
