The easyphp is currently at 5.3.9, I need the newest. I downloaded the latest php package from php.net, and deleted the old php and copied the new php directory. I try "phpinfo();", first it displays the result, but at the end Windows 7 says apache has crashed. How to upgrate to the newest php? Errors.log:

While not the exact answer you're looking for.. I used to use EasyPHP until I realized that their updates come very, very slowly. Since then I've started using The Uniform Server instead, which offers more or less the same tools, but more frequent updates and can be also run from USB.
