Laravel 4 - Seems there is a Bug - laravel-4

When i do the syntax check for the laravel files i am getting the error in the following file. Please some one help me on this.
php -l vendor/patchwork/utf8/class/Patchwork/Utf8/Bootup/iconv.php
PHP Fatal error: Cannot redeclare iconv() in vendor/patchwork/utf8/class/Patchwork/Utf8/Bootup/iconv.php on line 18

The functions defined in iconv.php are implementations of native php functions. The file iconv.php is only used when iconv was not compiled with php.
You will see this same type of error when you run
php -l Patchwork/Utf8/Bootup/mbstring.php
php -l Patchwork/Utf8/Bootup/utf8_encode.php
php -l Patchwork/Utf8/Bootup/intl.php
If you want to remove the error, you can recompile php without iconv(instructions). But you really shouldn't do that. Just remove these 4 files from your syntax checking script.

Laravel - compact(): Undefined variable: operator in Builder.php

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"

Laravel parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_CLASS, expecting T_STRING or T_VARIABLE

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.

laravel 4 install issue when using composer install

When I run
composer.phar install
I get this error almost at the end of the installation, any ideas?
Loading composer repositories with package information
Installing dependencies (including require-dev) from lock file
Nothing to install or update
Generating autoload files
Warning: Unexpected character in input: '\' (ASCII=92) state=1 in /home/belendez/public_html/laravel/artisan on line 46
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING in /home/belendez/public_html/laravel/artisan on line 46
Script php artisan optimize handling the post-install-cmd event returned with an error
I look into the suggested link and it appears that somehow in the middle of the installation it changes from 5.3 to 5.2! If I try to start installation using 5.2 it returns right a way: class 'Phar' not found. Any ideas?
It seems that issuing only a php command will pick up another version of the interpreter. Try to change all the references to php in your composer.phar file to the one you want actually to be executed (in your case it seems /opt/php53/bin/php).
You can confirm that by simply launching a php -v directly from the command line to see what version your server will pick up

unable to run laravel 4

I thought it was about time to look at a PHP Framework so I chose laravel. However, getting it running is causing me grief.
I followed the video from nettuts installing laravel 4 and at 5.05mins into the video he uses the php command-line server command (available from 5.4) php -S localhost:8888 -t public/ followed by confirming that it works via localhost:8888 in the browser which displays 'Hello Wolrd!'
I have XAMPP installed and my version of PHP is 5.3.15. I attempted to test it by doing http://localhost/learning-laravel/public/
At this point I have already downloaded composer and installed the dependancies successfully.
But I keep getting the following error:
Warning: require(/Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/htdocs/learning-laravel/bootstrap/../vendor/autoload.php) [function.require]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/htdocs/learning-laravel/bootstrap/autoload.php on line 17
Fatal error: require() [function.require]: Failed opening required '/Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/htdocs/learning-laravel/bootstrap/../vendor/autoload.php' (include_path='.:/Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/lib/php:/Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/lib/php/pear') in /Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/htdocs/learning-laravel/bootstrap/autoload.php on line 17
Inside my learning-laravel folder I do have bootstap/autoload.php
Can someone please help? Thanks.
I had another look at my folder structure and I noticed that composer had not run correctly and there were missing files. I've reinstalled it and it appears to be working.

Laravel 4 - php artisan migrate error

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.
