All of this is running on my local server with LAMPP.

I had an older LAMPP running with php 7.4 or 8.0; not sure anymore.

I had Zen Cart version 1.5.8 running with no problem.

I installed a newer version of LAMPP with php 8.2.12. Still no problem. Test system was running fine.

I wanted to get the local database updated with the data from my live system (Zen Cart 1.5.7d, php 8.0).
Overwrite the database from local test system with data from live system.
Plan was to use zc_install to upgrade the old DB to new version. I did this a lot of times before with other versions, but not under php 8.2.

Now I go to zc_install and there is an error message:

Incorrect PHP Version.The PHP version you are using (8.2.12) is not suitable.
This version of Zen Cart® is compatible with PHP versions 7.3 to 8.0, although 7.4.x or higher is recommended.

I am not sure how to solve this problem without changing back to an older php-version.
