Excellent, works like a charm! First I tried only to replace the php folder, but then you will run into some weird issues!

[avilashsaha]

Thanks a lot. I don't know this is possible without uninstalling xampp. You save my many time. Again thanks.

[mphatsomlenga]

Thanks broh, this worked for me. You have just removed the burden that over me

[darrenplayer]

thanks nice tip to allow multiple apache and php version, xampp is missing multi enviroment feature such as what others such as Wamp offers. One thing I would add is you must reconfigure your php.ini as needed file for new version.
