I have PHP version-7.3 installed in my system and Laravel-5.8. When I tried to rub composer install or composer update on an old Project with Laravel-5.4 and PHP Version-5.6.4, I got this error shown below:
In Builder.php line 1229:
compact(): Undefined variable: operator
Script php artisan optimize handling the post-install-cmd event returned with error code 1
Then, when I tried to run the application, I got this error page as shown on the screen:
I tried to run:
php artisan cache:clear
and
composer update
but the problem is still there.
How do I get it resolved?
Thank you.
It looks like this issue was fixed in Laravel 5.5 according to this post: https://github.com/laravel/framework/issues/26936#issuecomment-449479336
Since Laravel 5.4 is no longer supported, your best option might be to upgrade. You can find a list of the currently supported versions here: https://laravel.com/docs/releases
The minimal upgrade that should still fix the error would be 5.4 to 5.5. The instructions can be found here: https://laravel.com/docs/5.5/upgrade#upgrade-5.5.0 (please note that support for 5.5 has also ended, but it might still fix your bug). This would also require you to switch the project to PHP 7.0.0 or greater.
If:
You can't upgrade for whatever business/team related reason and
Are sure that the Homestead box is running the correct version of PHP (7.2 or lower based on the answer given here) and yet
are still getting this error,
explicitly define the PHP version on the Homestead.yaml file. This should be done on the sites property as such (each is a new line, of course):
map: test.appp
/home/vagrant/code/test/public
php: "7.1"

after updating my mac to php 8 laravel app stopped working, this is the error I'm getting:

Deprecated: Method ReflectionParameter::getClass() is deprecated in /Users/.../Sites/.../vendor/laravel/framework/src/Illuminate/Container/Container.php on line 945
I've tried to fix the issue by investigating the code with no luck
THE SOLUTION
As explained here latest version of laravel 6, 7 and 8 has made changes required for php 8. all you have to do is:
1- add php 8 to your composer.json (I've kept v7.4 just in case production server does not support php 8 yet)
"php": "^7.4|^8.0",
2- to run composer update to update your laravel to the latest version
composer update
3- make sure update the following libraries since they exist in all laravel applications
PHP to php:^8.0
Faker to fakerphp/faker:^1.9.1
PHPUnit to phpunit/phpunit:^9.3
4- check for any other library which needs to be updated, contribute if they haven't supported php 8. but you should be good to go with most of the libraries since they have active contributors.
EXPLAINING THE PROBLEM
as described here
PHP 8 introduces several improvements in PHP type systems such as the introduction of Union Types, mixed type, and a few more.
With these changes, certain methods in Reflection API's
ReflectionParameter yield incorrect results.
In PHP 8, the following methods from ReflectionParameter class is
deprecated:
ReflectionParameter::getClass()
ReflectionParameter::isArray()
ReflectionParameter::isCallable()
ReflectionParamter::getType() is the recommended way to replace the
deprecated methods. This method is available in PHP 7.0 and later.
Check your php version in your virtual machine(xampp or server).
php --version
Is that version PHP 8 ? Am I right? That's the cause of the problem:

Downgrade your php version to 7.4 and your Laravel app works like a charm!
I had similar issue. But I had already run brew update and brew cleanup before I noticed the issue. What I did:
I noticed this error from brew cleanup:
Error: The `brew link` step did not complete successfully
The formula built, but is not symlinked into /usr/local
Could not symlink bin/node
Target /usr/local/bin/node
already exists. You may want to remove it:
rm '/usr/local/bin/node'
To force the link and overwrite all conflicting files:
brew link --overwrite heroku-node
I ran the commands:
brew link --overwrite composer
composer upgrade
composer update
That's what worked for me
If you're using valet you should do the followings:
Downgrade from php8+ to php7.4 valet isolate php#7.4
Then run composer update using valet valet composer update
After successful installation of Laravel's install tool using composer using composer global require "laravel/installer" command, the first attempt to create an application by running laravel new app-name fails with the following output, any advice will be appreciated :)

Turned out the issue is related to the guzzle version installed on the system.
After seeing similar issue reported around guzzle 5.3 on some other repositories/apps, confirmed my globally installed version by running composer global info guzzlehttp/guzzle and it was 5.3.
Then updating my composer's global installation by running composer global updatesolved the problem, after seeing the update report as shown bellow, running the same laravel new app-name generates the application successfully.
Updating guzzlehttp/guzzle (5.3.0 => 6.2.3): Downloading (100%)
This is related to Guzzle's PHP 7.x incompatibility and this has been fixed in Guzzle >=5.3.1.
The solution is to upgrade your Guzzle by modifying line in your composer.json file to:
"guzzlehttp/guzzle": "~5.3.1",
or:
"guzzlehttp/guzzle": "~5.3#stable",
I have XAMPP installed on Windows 10. And have successfully installed Composer, Laravel. I can see the basic Laravel project page on my local server.
Just to try things out I also installed yii2. I can see the basic yii2 page also on my local server.
Now I'm trying to install this Generic Cloudstack Client:
https://github.com/PCextreme/cloudstack-client
In XAMPP, under htdocs I have this dir called 'LaravelProjects'.
dir structure
First I made the project with the laravel command:
laravel new PCextreme
Then in PCextreme directory I give the command:
composer require pcextreme/cloudstack-client:~0.1
The composer breaks and shows Conclusion: remove laravel/framework 5.2.41
But in the instructions there is another method to install the package.
When I do that by editting the composer.json in the main Laravel dir. 'LaravelProjects' under xampp/htdocs with these lines:
"require": { "pcextreme/cloudstack-client": "~0.1" }
And then I run the "composer update" command.
I don't get any error.
But as soon as I follow these steps:
Once the package is installed you need to open app/config/app.php and register the required service provider:
`'providers' => [
'PCextreme\CloudstackClient\Providers\LaravelServiceProvider']`
The application breaks.
I can't see the basic page showing 'Laravel 5' on my server anymore.
Instead of that I get a fatal error:
Whoops, looks like something went wrong.
1/1 FatalErrorException in ProviderRepository.php line 146: Class
'PCextreme\CloudstackClient\Providers\LaravelServiceProvider' not found
Further in the instructions, when I give the command below:
php artisan config:publish pcextreme/cloudstack-client
I get this error:
[Symfony\Component\Debug\Exception\FatalErrorException]
Class 'PCextreme\CloudstackClient\Providers\LaravelServiceProvider' not found
I have tried out different things that I could find on internet but nothing seems to work in my case.
Could someone kindly help me out with this? Any help is greatly appreciated!
Execute in you project folder command: composer update
After installing laravel we get an error:
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_CLASS, expecting T_STRING or T_VARIABLE or '$' in C:\xampp\htdocs\laravel\public\index.php on line 50
Laravel 5.1 uses the ::class property to get string representations of a fully qualified classname. The error you're seeing is caused by this line
$kernel = $app->make(Illuminate\Contracts\Http\Kernel::class);
This language feature has been introduced in PHP 5.5 which is a requirement of Laravel 5.1. Your installed PHP version is probably older than 5.5. Try to update your PHP binary.
In case you are interested in why ::class is used, take a look at this answer
Same thing happened to me also. I found that web server was using my old PHP version 5. To solve it for me, I did this -
sudo a2dismod php5
sudo a2enmod php7.0
sudo service apache2 restart
Your php version is too low.
Try version 7.0 or later php.
Your PHP version on your Xampp is lower than 5.5.9 as specified in the Laravel 5.1 doc.
Simply uninstall your current Xampp software and download a fresh copy at Apache website with this specification 5.6.12 / PHP 5.6.12 .
Do not forget to collaborate with your host provider to ensure that your hosting account runs the required PHP version (>=5.5.9) during the deployment of your Laravel 5.1 app online.
I was facing the same error but error was in app/User.php line 10.
Actually, line 10 was ok but before line 10 I was missing some php syntax.
After correct the php syntax error It was fixed. So you have to check C:\xampp\htdocs\laravel\public\index.php on line 49 carefully I am sure there is something wrong. Just try to correct. It will be fixed.
when I run php artisan migrate I receive this error:
Fatal error: Call to undefined function J20\Uuid\openssl_random_pseudo_bytes() i n C:\xampp\htdocs\blog\Laravel-4-Bootstrap-Starter-Site\vendor\j20\php-uuid\src\ J20\Uuid\Uuid.php on line 32
I'm trying to install this app, https://github.com/andrew13/Laravel-4-Bootstrap-Starter-Site
I appreciate any help, since I have no idea how to deal with something in the vendor dir halting migrations.
Make sure you enable the openssl extension in your PHP.ini file by removing the comment from the following line.
;extension=php_openssl.dll
So that it looks like this.
extension=php_openssl.dll
Then restart Apache to make sure the changes take effect.
