Has anyone done an upgrade from PHP 4.2.0 to 4.2.3?

How has it gone?
Any problems with Gallery after the upgrade?
For the following situation, can you recommend a proper procedure for performing the upgrade? (I can't find anything on the php site about how to do it.)

Details:
Gallery v1.3.2-cvs-b4
Win 2k Server w/SP2
Apache 1.3.24
PHP 4.2.0

Thank you for your help.
Marc

I have a Gallery installation working on the following:

Windows 2000 Server - Service Pack 3
Apache 1.3.26
PHP 4.2.3

I didn't upgrade anything, just installed the newest versions before installing the latest version of the gallery. But, that seems to indicate that you should not have any problems running the Win32 PHP 4.2.3 version, with Gallery 1.3.1

Well, I tried upgrading on Linux, under apache 2.0.40 and it broke
darn near every php program I had. I made a few minor changes
to my php.ini file as well, but it all worked fine when I went back to
4.2.2. I'll try again with 4.2.3 using the exact same configuration
when I get a chance, since I compile from source it takes me a bit
longer to do upgrades.

Should I simply copy over the existing files (except for php.ini)?

Thanks for the help.

I would suggest copying your php.ini file someplace safe and using
any uninstallation feature it comes with (not sure if it does or not)
before installing it, then rename the default php.ini and compare it
with your old one, make any changes you feel like making then test
it out.

I upgraded from Apache 1.3 to 2.0.40 and PHP 4.2.3 on Windows XP SP1. I did have problems with php2apache4.dll. I just downloaded the latest stable version from http://snaps.php.net/win32/ and it started working just fine.
