Solution 1

You have two options:
1. Install a fresh copy of PHP and make httpd.conf to point to it
2. You can also extract the new PHP files to your original folder - keep you ini file! In this case you can use php -m command line to see which extensions are no longer working an upgrade only them...
In both cases Apache restart IS required!!!

Somewhere in the httpd.conf there is a line like this:
PHPIniDir "C:/php"
Change it!
