Upgrade PHP 7.2 to 7.3 on Windows IIS

To upgrade PHP from version 7.2 to 7.3 on a Windows system using IIS, the best option is to use the Microsoft Web Platform Installer to install PHP 7.3 which will handle many configuration steps automatically. Alternatively, download the PHP 7.3 code and unzip it to a new folder, update the IIS handler mapping, copy the php.ini file, uncomment extensions in php.ini, restart IIS, and test with a phpinfo file and applications for compatibility issues.

PHP_via_FastCGI).

 Test with the sample PHP file for phpinfo() details and make sure that the required
modules are enabled

compatibility issues, if any.
