WampServer

I have installed WAMP 2.5 on my PC in order to download my website and test it. WAMP 2.5 is using PHP5.5.12 but my live site is using PHP5.4.41.

Will this difference in PHP versions be an issue for me when I download my live site to WAMP?

Grateful for any replies.

Who can tell. We dont know anything about your live site.

Thank you for your reply.

Sorry, I am a newbie to WAMP and thought this was a basic question that could be answered quickly. I simply wanted to know if my WAMP server with PHP5.5.12 would be compatible with my live server on PHP5.4.41

I'll happily provide more information if you let me know what you need.

Hi,

It is totally impossible to answer your question with certainty.
You may be using functions that have changed with PHP 5.5.
The mysql functions are obsolete with PHP 5.5 and 5.6 are deleted with PHP 7.0.0; you have to use mysqli.
Anyway, even on your website, your hoster must pass on new versions of PHP, so it is a good thing to check it work correctly with a later version of PHP.

Whatever the PHP version used, if you "recopy" your site on Wampserver, it is essential to use VirtualHost like your hoster: WAMPServer 2.5 The Homepage, Your Projects Menu and the need for Virtual Hosts
