 * I am windows admin. we had an older version of wordpress installed. all good.
   did update to wordpress. all works. but our plugins need newer version of PHP.
   
   when i run phpinfo.php on other folders it shows PHP version 5.6.8 as expected
   when i run phpinfo.php on my wordpress folder is shows PHP version 5.2.17
 * As a windows administrator how can i change the version of PHP that wordpress
   is using?
 * thank you in advance
