WampServer

Hello
I have tried to update php on a wamp installation on windows server 2016.
I have installed wampserver 3.1.9 and then installed the php updates from [wampserver.aviatechno.net]
[wampserver.aviatechno.net]

But the version is not visible in the pph version menu. What am I doing wrong?
Both the php 7.3.5 and the 7.3.6 is present in the
E:\wamp64\bin\php folder, but not visible in the tray/php/version menu

The latest visible version is 7.3.1 but im not able to select that version. But in the phpinfo page, it is the active version.

Hi,

PHP versions installed by Wampserver 3.1.9 64bit are :
- 5.6.40 (Default CLI version),
- 7.0.33,
- 7.1.29,
- 7.2.18 (Default WEB version)
- 7.3.5

> The latest visible version is 7.3.1
Not installed by Wampserver 3.1.9 full installer.

> But in the phpinfo page, it is the active version.
Since PHP version 7.3.1 is not installed by Wampserver 3.1.9, this means that you have older versions of PHP or an older version of a PHP server that have not been cleaned before installing Wampserver.
You may also have paths to a PHP version in the environment variables.

On the other hand, did you respect the prerequisites displayed just before the installation actually started?

Yes, I installed all the prerequisites and restarted the machine before installing the php 7.3.6 update.

Hi,

> he latest visible version is 7.3.1
I repeat:
This version of PHP is not installed by Wampserver 3.1.9, so it comes from a cleaning defect in your system.

There was no environment variable set for php so I set it for version 3.1.6.

I also changedthis line in httpd.conf: LoadModule php7_module "${INSTALL_DIR}/bin/php/php7.3.6/php7apache2_4.dll"

my phpinfo() is now showing that 7.3.6 is loaded.

Hi,

> There was no environment variable set for php so I set it for version 3.1.6.
NO, NO, NO. Wampserver does not use and does not need environment variables.

> I also changedthis line in httpd.conf:
> LoadModule php7_module "${INSTALL_DIR}/bin/php/php7.3.6/php7apache2_4.dll"
NO, NO, NO.

The fact that you have made these changes shows that you have a problem with your system.
