Perhaps what you need is this -

Upgrading PHP with the Install

To upgrade, run the installer either graphically or from the command 
line as normal. The installer will read your current install options, 
remove your old installation, and reinstall PHP with the same options as 
before. It is recommended that you use this method of keeping PHP 
updated instead of manually replacing the files in the installation 
directory.


You can read it here -

I am new to php and am in the process of installing it and reading  
various tutorials.


I always suggest using XAMPP (http://xampp.org) or a similar package  
that will install MySQL, PHP and Apache all for you in one bundle on  
development machines. It's much faster, easier to manage and it just  
works!


That said, I don't advocate using XAMPP on a production server. For a  
production server it's worth taking the time to install each  
individually so you know exactly how each one is configured.

Can I install a newer version of php over an older version ?

I am new to php and am in the process of installing it and reading various 
tutorials.

I installed version php-5.2.5-win32-installer.msi

I have just downloaded php-5.2.6-win32-installer.msi

can I install over the first one or must I uninstall the 
php-5.2.5-win32-installer.msi version first.

TIA
