Changing default PHP version

SeidKorac

Hi there, I am pretty new to this but I am trying to deploy a Laravel app using Symlink and when I try to access it, it only says: Composer detected issues in your platform: Your Composer dependencies require a PHP version ">= 8.0.2".

I went to check the logs and this is what they say: Composer detected issues in your platform: Your Composer dependencies require a PHP version ">= 8.0.2". You are running 7.4.27.

I check the documentation regarding changing the PHP version but when I click to edit my applications, it only offers to change cache settings.

Is there a way to change the PHP version for my app?

SeidKorac at this time we don't have any UI for changing the PHP version on symlink apps, but we can set it for you from our end.

Please email support to let us know the app name and PHP version you want and we'll then take care of it 🙂

Thank you sean for the clarification and the help. I'll send the info via email.

Cheers 🍻

As of September 2022 you can now set the PHP version for symlink apps via your Opalstack dashboard.

Hi,
I have the same issue
Composer detected issues in your platform: Your Composer dependencies require a PHP version ">= 8.1.0". You are running 7.3.33

the app is set to PHP 8.1 but when I do php -v I get PHP 7.3.33

How can I fix it?
Thanks

xamax the PHP version of your web application doesn't affect php at the command line.

If you need to run PHP 8.1 at the command line then you must run php81 instead of php. More information is available at: Using Different PHP Versions at the Command Line
