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.

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 871
Deprecated: Method ReflectionParameter::getClass() is deprecated in /Users/.../Sites/.../vendor/laravel/framework/src/Illuminate/Container/Container.php on line 945

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
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"
I'm getting error. I tried again and reinstalled too. My PHP server is on an updated version.
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected 'class' (T_CLASS), expecting identifier (T_STRING) or variable (T_VARIABLE) or '{' or '$' in /var/www/......../httpdocs/magento/vendor/magento/framework/App/Bootstrap.php on line 411
You might want to take a look at the server requirements for installing Magento 2, it might be that your PHP version is not high enough
http://devdocs.magento.com/guides/v2.0/install-gde/system-requirements-tech.html
This is happening because your server does not meet Magento's minimum requirements. Here's an excerpt, or see here for more details:
Requirements
Composer (latest stable version)
Composer is required for developers who wish to contribute to the Magento 2 codebase or anyone who wishes to develop > Magento extensions
Web servers
Apache 2.2 or 2.4
In addition, the apache mod_rewrite module must be enabled. mod_rewrite enables the server to perform URL rewriting. For > more information, see our Apache documentation.
nginx 1.8 (or latest mainline version)
Database
MySQL 5.6
MariaDB and Percona are compatible with Magento because we support MySQL 5.6 APIs.
PHP
5.6.x
5.5.x, where x is 22 or greater
7.0.2, 7.0.6–7.0.x
There is a known PHP 7.0.5 issue that affects our code compiler; to avoid the issue, do not use PHP 7.0.5.
Not supported:
PHP 7.1
PHP 5.4
Required PHP extensions:
bc-math
curl
gd, ImageMagick 6.3.7 (or later) or both
intl
mbstring
mcrypt
mhash
openssl
PDO/MySQL
SimpleXML
soap
xml
xsl

I had built my website using Laravel 4, and it works fine on localhost but when I host it in my online webserver I've got this error:
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_USE, expecting T_FUNCTION in /home/.../public_html/bootstrap/compiled.php on line 3242
How can I get rid of this error?
Laravel 4.2 requires PHP 5.4+, make sure you have that.
If you updated from an earlier version of Laravel and on PHP 5.4+, remove public_html/bootstrap/compiled.php and it should work again.
If you can't use 5.4+, use Laravel 4.1 instead of 4.2, so in your composer.json you want "laravel/framework": "4.1.*", instead of what you have now.
As you may have known that I switched from ubuntu to windows from my previous questions. I was working on Zend Framework on ubuntu and now working on same project in windows. Because of this switching I am facing some problems in windows which was not occurred in ubuntu.
Now I have the following error in firebug console when I go to login page:
<b>Fatal error</b>: Undefined class constant 'MYSQL_ATTR_INIT_COMMAND' in <b>C:\wamp\www\vcred\library\Zend\Db\Adapter\Pdo\Mysql.php</b> on line <b>93</b><br />
Do you people know that what type of error is this and what is the solution?
I have the following configuration for database.
resources.db.adapter = "Pdo_Mysql"
resources.db.params.host = "localhost"
resources.db.params.username = "root"
resources.db.params.password = ""
resources.db.params.dbname = "test"
resources.db.params.charset = "utf8"
Thanks
I just had the same error with PHP 5.2.6, and all I had to do is to open php.ini (e.g. on Windows: C:\Windows\php.ini, or on Ubuntu: /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini or sg. like this) in a text editor, and remove the semicolon from the following line:
;extension=php_pdo_mysql.dll
So as a result it would look like this in php.ini:
extension=php_pdo_mysql.dll
That solved my problem.
This looks related to this bug on PHP's bugtracker : Bug #47224 MYSQL_ATTR_INIT_COMMAND is no longer available
It seems it's been fixed in SVN -- but maybe not in the version of PHP you are using ?
Quoting one of the comments :
[2009-07-02 06:43 UTC] mg at artigo
dot pl A temporary solution is to
use INT value (1002) instead of
constant.
This might be a temporary solution, until you install a new version of PHP, in which the bug is fixed ?
Looks like a Windows bug in PHP 5.3 that was fixed in SVN a while ago. You might want to try updating to the latest PHP release to see if the issue still exists.
I got the same error, on debian6, when I had not yet installed php-mysql so, I simply installed this, like this
apt-get install php5-mysql
/etc/init.d/apache2 restart
I just add it here, in case other have same problem, to save them them a few minutes of research.
