As I am new with Laravel and there are already many versions out there I'm confused about which version I should start with? Which will be the perfect version to start?
Versions are: 5.1, 5.2, 5.3, 5.4, 5.4.22 and upcoming 5.5
It will be my pleasure if Laravel experts give me some good advice.
Go with laravel 5.4 and start working with PHP 7. There's no point in learning the older versions at the moment. With 5.5 (LTS) set to release in July, you will be well set with learning 5.4 now.
There are already tons of resources for 5.4 and any and most codes and tutorials that uses 5.3 can be used with 5.4 without any/much change.
A good series to get started.
https://laracasts.com/series/laravel-from-scratch-2017
Go to this URL: https://laracasts.com/series/laravel-from-scratch-2017. It's version 5.4, by far the best resource you'll find for laravel. And it's free.
You can start with Laravel 5.4 because Laravel 5.4 is updated one if learn Laravel 5.3 then you definitely learn 5.4 therefore you start with Laravel 5.4
Thank you

I have a Laravel 4.0 application. Is it possible to migrate this instance to Laravel 5.7? What are the impacts of this on the system and how can I do it?
There's a possibility if you upgrade it to 4.2 and then use https://laravelshift.com/ to get it to 5.7. It will cost you somewhat though.
I'm upgrading laravel version from 4.2 to 5.5.
I saw it library called 'Sentry' doesn't support at Laravel Ver 5.5.
I want to Change Sentry used Ver4.2 to Sentinel which support Ver 5.5.
So, I study Project which use library called 'cartalyst/Sentry' now.
But, I don't know persistance or Persist of Sentry.
What is the persistance?
Also, Is it OK not to use about persistance?
Somebody, Help me!
just curious to know, has anyone tested CodeIgniter application on PHP 5.6? We are upgrading our server from 5.3.3 to 5.6 currently running CodeIgniter 2.2 . Will that be fine?
if yes, I would really appreciate if you post your feedback what performance change you have encountered
I have a live site using CI 2.1.3 with php 5.6 that has been running smoothly for more than a year (maybe longer). No CI related problems that I can recall.
I am working on project which was created using Laravel 4.2 and i am curious to know, if Laravel 4.2 and Laravel 5.2 , supports PHP 7 or not ?
Thanks
Update: Starting from 4.2.20 Laravel supports PHP7
#laravelphp tweet:
A special release of Laravel 4.2 has been made (4.2.20) to provide PHP
7 support. Also updates base Symfony components to 2.7.
From one of Laravel issues:
Laravel 5.1 is the first version of Laravel to support PHP 7.
and
Laravel 4.2, and the related symfony version will never get PHP 7 support.
Graham Campbell is the main Laravel contributor after Taylor Otwell, so this info is pretty reliable.
As from today Laravel 4.2 got support for PHP 7. So you can upgrade to 4.2.20 to use it in PHP 7
