Error on php artisan command

What PHP version are you using?

I am using 5.6 php version. Because in 5.5 i was getting laravel 5.2 version.

Did you modify vendor/laravel/framework/src/Illuminate/Foundation/helpers.php ? If you did, you shouldn't really touch files in the vendor folder.

No, i have just created a new project and when i was about to run php artisan make:auth then i got this message.

The only thing I can think of is that maybe your PHP version doesn't support the splat operator.

I am using same php version on windows and it's working absolutely fine on windows. And i have same php version on mac but it's giving me this error on mac.

using Valet?

there was another post yesterday with exactly the same issue. the problem was resolved by updating Valet

Hello,

Thanks everyone for support. I just got the issue, mac's default php version is 5.5 so whenever i open terminal i have to run export PATH=/usr/local/php5/bin:$PATH this command to use php 5.6 commands. Everything is working fine now.

Searching for how to change mac's default php version :P
