I have a site which is hosted and works perfect. I then installed Xampp version 7.1.1 on my local machine for testing.

Installed WP 4.9.2 and works fine. Tried to install the same Theme that is on the hosted server and get an error message

The hosting company is using PHP 4.7.3 So it would seem the problem is the PHP version?

Can I download Xampp 4.7.3 or install PHP 4.7.3 into my existing installation, and how would I do that?

Unfortunately, there is no Xampp Version which comes with PHP 4.7.3. The latest PHP4 version was Xampp 1.6.8, which came with PHP 4.4.9. After then Xampp delivered PHP5 only (Xampp 1.7.0 and newer).

Due to http://www.php.net, there has never been a PHP Version 4.7.3 also. The above mentioned PHP 4.4.9 was the last official PHP4 release. Do you mix the PHP Release with the release of PhpMyAdmin? Because there is a PhpMyAdmin 4.7.3

P.S.: I already answered your question in viewtopic.php?f=16&t=76607 - there have been quite a lot of solutions. It seems to be a problem of PHP 7.1.1. Its not necessary to step back to super mega old PHP4, simply install Xampp 7.0.27 or (if it still does not work) Xampp 5.6.33 from the Xampp Download Site.

Hi, Thanks for you help and support. Will try both 7.1.1 and 5.6.33 I got the PHP info from the hosting company, They say they cannot update as it is on a shared server?

Maybe you meant PHP 4.3.7?
btw. i would not trust any hosting company still using a php version that old on a shared server.
