MacOS – How to upgrade the PHP 5.3.1 to 5.3.2 on XAMPP Mac OS X

apachemacosPHP

I've just installed XAMPP on Mac OS X Snow Leopard, and everything is running correctly and setup completely well.

However, I want to install an open source project that requires PHP 5.3.2 or higher. I visited the official PHP website and downloaded PHP 5.4.5.

How can I update my PHP version so that it runs with this latest version?

I visited:

Places -> Application -> XAMPP -> xamppfiles -> ???

I'd appreciate any guidance. Thanks!

Not to lead you in a different direction, but if you were using MAMP (free version) on OS X, that comes with the most up-to-date version of PHP and allows to you switch between 5.2.17 & 5.4.3.

I find that MAMP is less messy than XAMPP.
