I got this requirement in my composer.json:
"php": ">= 5.6",
"symfony/http-foundation": "^3.0"
The problem with that configuration is that it will install paragonie/random_compat v9.99.99 which is only compatible with PHP 7 and more. But the thing is that I don't want my composer.lock file to require PHP 7, I want it to still be compatible with PHP 5.6.
The solution I found is to track down which package was pulling this dependency and, once I found it, I added this to my requirements:
"paragonie/random_compat": "~2.0"
But I wonder if there is not a better way of doing that: somehow telling that I accept all the versions above PHP 5.6, but I don't accept packages that would force to have PHP 7?
If you want to make composer.lock compatible with PHP 5.6, you have at least two options to achieve that:
Use PHP 5.6 for composer update - you should be able to install multiple versions of PHP on your OS and run Composer like this:
/path/to/php6.5 /path/to/composer update
Use platform settings in composer.json to force installation for specific version regardless PHP version used to run Composer commands:
"config": {
"platform": {
"php": "5.6.38"
}
},

NB: Local server PHP Version 8.1.4, laravel project inside composer.json file have "php": "^7.2.5", version & "laravel/framework": "^7.0"
PHP Fatal error: During inheritance of ArrayAccess: Uncaught ErrorException: Return type of Illuminate\Support\Collection::offsetExists($key) should either be compatible with ArrayAccess::offsetExists(mixed $offset): bool, or the #[\ReturnTypeWillChange] attribute should be used to temporarily suppress the notice
error displaying below like this :
That's a php version issue. Upgrade laravel or downgrade PHP. This article covers how to downgrade the PHP version so it matches the Laravel Version.
https://bytexd.com/fix-laravel-return-type-of-illuminatesupportcollectionoffsetexistskey/
in your composer.json update line
"php": "^7.3",
to
"php": "^7.3|^8.1",
and run composer update
You would need to upgrade your Laravel Framework version to at least version 8 and it's dependencies using composer.
Reference: https://laravel.com/docs/8.x/releases
Or if you want to postpone it, you would need to add #[\ReturnTypeWillChange] before declaring every function that throws the error. This is highly not advisable.
P.S. If you updated your PHP version you would have to change the PHP version in composer to the one used, in your case it should be "php": "^8.1.4"
In my case, using a mac, turns out my php version was 8.1 which somehow is not compatible with laravel version 7. Tho most of these answers are correct, but they did not fix my issues. I followed these steps (if brew is installed):
brew unlink php#8.1
brew link php#8.0 or lower

run "composer update" on your project directory and it will work .
I have installed the s3 flysystem package by running the following composer command in my Laravel 8 project
composer require --with-all-dependencies league/flysystem-aws-s3-v3 "^1.0"
and tried to store a file from the request as
$imageName = $request->file('file')->store('uploads');
I got the following error
League\Flysystem\AwsS3v3\AwsS3Adapter::__construct(): Argument #1
($client) must be of type Aws\S3Client, Aws\S3\S3Client given, called
in
D:\Projects\Rescale\vendor\laravel\framework\src\Illuminate\Filesystem\FilesystemManager.php
on line 229
So it seems ThePHPLeague Flysystem major version got updated (to v2) thus breaking a lot of stuff since latest Laravel depends on "^1.1" (see: https://github.com/laravel/framework/blob/8.x/composer.json#L27).
I've had this error, so my workaround is to use a specific version instead.
Go to composer.json and use latest v1 (see: https://github.com/thephpleague/flysystem-aws-s3-v3/tags).
- "league/flysystem-aws-s3-v3": "^1.0",
+ "league/flysystem-aws-s3-v3": "1.0.29",
Run composer update and let composer update your dependencies.
try this to upload an image on AWS
$path = Storage::disk('s3')->put('uploads', $request->file('file'));
try this
composer require --with-all-dependencies league/flysystem-aws-s3-v3 "~1.0"
I got same error in Laravel version 8
open composer.json and change inside version to "league/flysystem-aws-s3-v3": "^1.0"
run composer update
Is there any way to require a dependency in composer.json only if a condition is fulfilled?
Typically, I'd like to use Guzzle 6 if the PHP version is high enough, otherwise do nothing. The library will handle a fallback if you don't have guzzle.
I know you can use "some/dependency": "^1.0 || ^2.0", which will choose the latest major that fits your other requirements. What I'm looking for is something like:
"some/dependency": "nothing || ^2.0"
You cannot do this directly as constraints in your composer.json. However you can achieve this by creating bridge package, which may define different dependencies for different versions, which could have different requirements.
So you can create me/guzzle-wrapper package and:
Tag 1.0.0 version with composer.json:
{
"name": "me/guzzle-wrapper",
"require": {
"php": "<5.5",
}
}
Tag 2.0.0 version with composer.json:
{
"name": "me/guzzle-wrapper",
"require": {
"php": ">=5.5",
"guzzlehttp/guzzle": "^6.3"
}
}
So instead requiring guzzlehttp/guzzle directly, you can use this meta package - depending on your PHP version Composer will install 2.0.0 which requires Guzzle, or 1.0.0 which does not require anything.
But if your package is able to work without Guzzle, maybe you should move this requirement to suggest section?
The constraint that I am interested in is
"require":{ "php": "..."
Is there a way to target php 7.1 for the project packages in composer.json even though I'm running 7.2 when I call composer update/install on the command line?
You can use platform configuration from Composer: https://getcomposer.org/doc/06-config.md#platform
Basically, your composer.json would look like this:
{
"require": {
...
},
"config": {
"platform": {
"php": "7.1"
}
}
}
This will make sure that you install only packages compatible with PHP 7.1, no matter which PHP version you use to actually install the packages.
Installed laravel 5.6
Have PHP 7.0 installed as well.
When I try
laravel new sample-project
it creates the required files and dependencies but bails with an error below:
PHP Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '?', expecting variable (T_VARIABLE) in /home/johndoe/laravel/sample-project/vendor/symfony/console/Output/Output.php on line 40
Have a feeling this might be due to issues with the symfony file but not sure how to go about getting the right version or making a change in Output.php
Trying any other command such as
php artisan list
results in the same error
Composer relevant section denoting laravel 5.6 / php 7.1.3
"require": {
"php": "^7.1.3",
"fideloper/proxy": "~4.0",
"laravel/framework": "5.6.*",
"laravel/tinker": "~1.0"
},
Any help would be appreciated.
EDIT
Based on the answer I had to create a project with laravel version 5.5 which means I had to use
composer create-project laravel/laravel sample-project "5.5.*"
That worked.
Laravel 5.6 requires PHP > 7.1.3
you will need to make sure your server meets the following
requirements:
PHP >= 7.1.3
I ended up having to edit the $PATH in my .bashrc file, because it was picking up an old version of php.
> whereis php
> echo $PATH
I found the correct version of php here: /opt/php71/bin
So now my .bashrc file looks like this:
export PATH=/opt/php71/bin:$PATH
This fixed the error I was getting in composer, AND now php artisan also works!
:-D
PS. The version of php that you're using in the shell may be different from the version used to serve your site. That can be fixed in cpanel's php selector.
