Can i upgrade the PHP version under wampserver instead of whole? Because current latest version of wampserver gives 5.4.3 version, but the latest version of php is 5.5.4.

How can i upgrade it?

EDIT :

Wampserver provides either 5.4.3 or older version. What I'm trying to do is Download latest PHP version from php's official site and than copy that into the wampserver. So that i can select toggle between newer and older version.

This is how wampserver control panel will look like after adding a version of php http://i.stack.imgur.com/0pOx3.png http://i.stack.imgur.com/joSf3.png

I GOT MY ANSWER :

A type of handler is required to handle PHP 5.5, which is not built current handler supports 5.4 < versions. The handler is provided by IONCUBE.

This is what i found -

"Ioncube for PHP5.5 is not yet released as of 13/09/2013, they say they are waiting for PHP 5.5 to become stable and secure and hosting providers to adopt PHP 5.5 before they release their upgrade. They comment that it can take a year or more for hosting companies to adopt new versions of PHP and this I guess is their schedule."
