See this sticky post.
You must have PHP5 to use PrestaShop. It won’t work with PHP4.

Hi

Thank you for your reply. Much appreciated. But can you please tell me how to check what version I am using of php? I am really new to this.

Thanks

Create a file called info.php that contains the following and upload it to the root directory of PrestaShop on your server:

<?php php_info(); ?>

Then go to your http://www.yoursite.com/info.php to get a page containing your PHP version and all the PHP settings.

Remember to delete the file off your server afterwards so other's can't check your PHP version.

Hi Guys

Thank you once again. I have checked the php version and it is PHP 4. Can you please guide how to upgrade to PHP 5?

Are you trying to install PrestaShop locally or on a remote server? If it is local, install the latest version of WAMP to get PHP5. If you are installing it on a remote server, ask your host to upgrade your server to PHP5.
