Php 7.2 to Php 7.3 - Upgrade

I thought of upgrading my php version from php 7.2 to php 7.3 because i need to start using the latest laravel version (Laravel 6)

Will this effect my older projects (uses Laravel 5.3 +)

It shouldn't do. Its unlikely that you have used something that is now deprecated

Upgrade php 7.2 to 7.3 still seem not too much but laravel 5.3 to 6 will have a lot of impacts. no one understand your system better than you, you should check it yourself

you should always check their upgrade guide https://www.php.net/manual/en/migration73.php

Laravel Upgrade:

https://laravel.com/docs/5.5/upgrade https://laravel.com/docs/5.6/upgrade https://laravel.com/docs/5.7/upgrade https://laravel.com/docs/5.8/upgrade https://laravel.com/docs/6.x/upgrade
