how to update xampp to be compatible with php 8.3.1?

[Marllury1]

i have xampp 8.2.12 y php 8.3.1.I need to update xampp since an error was generated, so I entered xampp conf/apache and changed the number to generate the update, but the error was worse. Now Apache doesn't start and they tell me that it is probably due to some kind of permissions problem

Duplicate the PHP folder, change the name of the copy to PHP_old, open the PHP folder.

Download the new version of PHP, extract it to a folder, select all the files and paste it into the XAMPP PHP folder, choose the option to overwrite duplicate files and that's it, it will work normally.

there is no XAMP for php 8.3.1

[forever-2627]

Hello!
I am using xampp8.2 and I tried all things according to the guide provided on here to upgrade php version 8.2 to 8.3.
And I renamed php.production.ini file to php.ini and enabled some extensions, gd, zip and bla bla.
After that such extensions are not appeared on phpinfo.

[cavinhartono]

1. first, you install file PHP on (https://www.php.net) with ZIP and Extract
2. open folder "xampp/php" and rename "php-old"
3. move PHP from after extract and rename "php"
4. open folder "php-old", copy file "php.ini" and paste on "php" folder

Hi folks.

Here is another thread, with instructions on how to update XAMPP manually:
https://github.com/orgs/community/discussions/155925#discussioncomment-12736292

However, if updating XAMPP manually from PHP 8.2 to PHP 8.3 seems too complicated and you won't succeed with that, you can also try XL / XAMPP Lite. There are versions that already includes PHP 8.3.
There are the files: https://sourceforge.net/projects/xampplite/files/8.3/
For x86 and x64 in various PHP 8.3(.x) versions and different languages - portable or with installer.

However, it only has the web server, PHP, and the database engine. If that's enough for you, give it a try. It should be suitable for many use cases. So no FileZilla, no Mercury, no Tomcat; I think these add-ons are also often irrelevant, especially for beginners.

Have fun! q:D
