Hello,

I am trying to install drupal 8 on local machine which is having wampserver 2.2 installed and php version 5.3.10 running on it.

Still it is giving following error.

Your PHP installation is too old. Drupal requires at least PHP 5.3.3

Can anyone help me out????

Thanks in advance

The first step seems to be to run phpinfo.php and be sure that you are loading the version of php which you believe should be loading.

I encountered a php module error when installing Mongodb module. The reason turned out to be that although Drupal was using the php configuration used for the Apache virtual server, the Drupal module was checking the php.ini loaded for CLI php, which was different. Is there any possibility that there is more than one version of php on your system?

I cannot tell you how to upgrade php on Windows. Depends on how you installed php? Since it came as part of WAMP, why not just uninstall WAMP then reinstall? Or leave WAMP alone and get Acquia Dev Desktop and XAMPP installed and use that for your site instead. On LInux the package manager takes care of it for you.

I installed DAMP with Drupal 7 as packaged for Windows.

and imported D8.dev.

Upon attempting first site visit, I get the error:

"Your PHP installation is too old. Drupal requires at least PHP 5.3.3".

Am I out of luck in my quest to play with D8 locally,
or might you have a clue for me?

I would like to stick with DAMP if possible.

So update your Damp so that php version > 5.3.3. Maybe you used an old package. I cannot check because Acquia have a horrendously long sign-up form just to read their documentation. There is manager in Acquia somewhere who is clearly trying to take Drupal in an aggressively commercial direction. The latest Damp installer is 7.14.14: is that the version you have?
