php windows upgrade

I've been using PHP version 5.2 and now need to upgrade to version 5.3 (Windows/Apache). I have been using 5.2 for awhile now and have customized many things in php.ini and added some extra extensions.

How can I upgrade to version 5.3 without having to reconfigure everything? Or does upgrading require that I customize my PHP installation all over again?

Thanks, Brian

If you take a look at Upgrading to PHP 5.3 - an easy way, i think that will solve your problem, but if you're in a Linux machine that you can use apt-get the only thing that you need to do is:

$ sudo apt-get upgrade php php-* mysql-*
$ /etc/init.d/httpd restart

Regards.
