I have XAMPP version 1.8.2 with MYSQL v 5.5, which is fine for my development machine, but my hosts have lower versions, the lowest being mysql v 5.0.67. Has anyone modified XAMPP to use an earlier version of MYSQL? If so, what is the procedure for this modification?

Either use a very old Xampp (which includes the old MySQL version), or dont use Xampp. There is no downgrade option for parts of Xampp.
