How to update php version in wamp?

Question

I am currently using php version 5.1.6 on a Wamp server. I am trying to use the phpexcel library to read .xls and .xlsx files. The minimum requirement of the Phpexcel library is php 5.2.0. So how can I solve this problem or how to upgrade php version.

Thanks in advance.

enable rewrite module in apache
