PHP Version Upgrade on Windows Wamp Server
This is a common issue of all developers upgrading PHP versions for windows users. So, I am going to show you some easy steps to upgrade your PHP version.
Step 1:
You should download the latest PHP version from https://www.php.net/releases/index.php.
Step 2:
Extract the download file on this directory C:\wamp64\bin\php\. And rename it like php7.4.9.

Step 5:
Now modify wampserver.conf file
From
$phpConf['apache']['2.2']['LoadModuleName'] = 'php5_module'; $phpConf['apache']['2.2']['LoadModuleFile'] = 'php5apache2_2.dll';
To
$phpConf['apache']['2.4']['LoadModuleName'] = 'php7_module'; $phpConf['apache']['2.4']['LoadModuleFile'] = 'php7apache2_4.dll';
