    I updated my version of wordpress.
    next i think i need to update PHP
    I am running PHP Version 5.2.17

    we have this on our own windows server.
    in iis i think i have later version of php installed. but i don’t know how to make wordpress point to /use a newer version.

    (perhaps a config file? or maybe in IIS?)

    thank you in advance!

    You need to configure IIS to use the updated PHP version. WordPress will use whichever version of PHP your server has selected.

    I recommend checking with a IIS support forum or documentation about that.

    Thank you for your response.

    I found out how to do it..

    The old version of php was above the new version in the IIS handler mappings. I corrected the problem in this case. Here is what I did for future reference.
    • In IIS expand surveyconnect.com and selected blogs
    • Selected handler mappings
    • Under the actions menu on the right side hit “View ordered list”
    • Right click on a php module and use the arrow to move up or down.

    onward!
