I faced an error when I installed wordpress

Question

I have an old version of a wordpress website in my pc, I want to use it in wampserver so I add the sql file to it but it shows me an error : Your PHP installation appears to be missing the MySQL extension which is required by WordPress.

So I searched on the net, I found something like downloading new wordpress website and then delete all the folders in old website except wp-content and then replace the other files from the new website. I did it but shows me this error :

Fatal error: Unparenthesized a ? b : c ? d : e is not supported. Use either (a ? b : c) ? d : e or a ? b : (c ? d : e) in C:\wamp64\www\wp-intranet\wp-content\plugins\php-execution-plugin\includes\class.php_execution.php on line 234

Luckily you have WAMPServer so you can install and use an old version of PHP for this old WP site. — RiggsFolly, Apr 14 '23 at 13:28
Go to the [Backup Repo, its easier to find stuff than on sourceforge](https://wampserver.aviatechno.net/?lang=en) and download an older version of PHP. One that is close to what you were using originally — RiggsFolly, Apr 14 '23 at 13:32
How to do that, may I download php version or wampserver version — Abderrahim Chakhmoun, Apr 19 '23 at 10:08
You can download each part seperately, so try downloading just a version of PHP that allows this code — RiggsFolly, Apr 19 '23 at 10:43

The error you have shared is coming from the plugin php-execution-plugin You can check the minimum requirement for using this plugin. The error message indicates version incompatibility. If you deactivate the plugin error should be disappeared.
