If you installed PHP following https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/iis/application-frameworks/scenario-build-a-php-website-on-iis/configuring-step-1-install-iis-and-php#13-download-and-install-php-manually, just do it once again for the new release.

Hi,

You could use web platform installer to upgrade the PHP version.

1)install web platform installer if you didn't.

https://www.microsoft.com/web/downloads/platform.aspx

2)restart iis.

3)open web platform, installer. type PHP in search.

4)Select the version of PHP that you wish to install and click “Add” and “Install”. Make sure to select the 64-bit or 32-bit, depending on your server environment.

5)restart iis server.

you can check php version by using :

phpinfo.php

<?php phpinfo(); ?>

save this file under below path:

C:\inetpub\wwwroot

Do you know if there are any major differences in 7.2.x and 7.3.x? I would like to avoid any problems during the upgrade if possible.
