The PHP error you have does not seem related to the
.htaccess. -
Why do you think it is related?

.htaccess error
When trying to running my website online after migrating it from offline:
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '?', expecting variable (T_VARIABLE) in /home/advancew/sample.advance-web-studio.com/vendor/ramsey/uuid/src/functions.php on line 34
The same .htaccess works offline why it does not works online?
My hosting provider mentions that it is .htaccess script error
.htaccess
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
<IfModule mod_negotiation.c>
Options -MultiViews -Indexes
</IfModule>
RewriteEngine On
# Handle Authorization Header
RewriteCond %{HTTP:Authorization} .
RewriteRule .* - [E=HTTP_AUTHORIZATION:%{HTTP:Authorization}]
# Redirect Trailing Slashes If Not A Folder...
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} (.+)/$
RewriteRule ^ %1 [L,R=301]
# Send Requests To Front Controller...
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^ index.php [L]
</IfModule>
Any clue why?

Hi @davy_yg
That's probably a problem with your PHP version. Check that you are using version >= 7.2.5.
If you've deploy on a shared hosting with cPanel, you can usually can easily change the PHP version from there, although you might need to do some other change on .htaccess to be sure that your web application is using the same version.

The server uses : PHP version: 7.3.6
My local uses: PHP/7.2.24
The only problem now I have many websites on the server that works with PHP 7.3.6 version.
If I change the server into PHP 7.2 I am afraid the other website will not works.
Any idea how to make my current website works with PHP 7.3 ?

Just in case, throw a .php file with a call to phpinfo() in it and browse that file to see which PHP version shows.
I had this same problem with a server, which even verifying that it was configured to run with the latest PHP version available at that time, as it had different versions installed, for some reason the phpinfo() showed that the webserver for that particular domain was running PHP v5.x

It is PHP Version 7.2.24 on localhost and it works!
My problem is migrating it to the server which uses PHP Version 7.3.6

@davy_yg in case it effectively shows an older version, you can try adding the following at the top of your .htaccess file:
AddHandler application/x-httpd-php73 .php .php5
to force that version for that particular folder / webapp

@davy_yg ok...if you are absolutely sure that's the only PHP version your server is running, then I'm out of ideas at this moment (2:45 am here hehe).
Hope you find the problem and sorry for the insistence :)
Level 27
@davy_yg you have to change something for sure, pick 1 below:
- Change server to 7.2.24, and check other websites if they are OK
- Change
.htaccessand addAddHandler application/x-httpd-php72 .php .php5 - Look at
/home/advancew/sample.advance-web-studio.com/vendor/ramsey/uuid/src/functions.phpand change it
1 being the easiest and 3 being the harder.
Level 27
Using phpinfo() :
On the server - PHP Version 7.2.33
On local - PHP Version 7.2.24
Why the error still persist?
The version is almost the same
Level 27
Then your only option is #3.
- How are your PHP files transferred to the server?
- Please show
/home/advancew/sample.advance-web-studio.com/vendor/ramsey/uuid/src/functions.phpfrom the server and not your local copy.

Do you get the error when using a browser or when running artisan commands?
Level 25
@laracoft line 34 on that file is this:
function v1($node = null, ?int $clockSeq = null): string
The only ? There is the nullable introduced in php 7.1 That’s why I’ve been insisting on the php version

@marianomoreyra good call. but it seems his server is actually not running PHP 7.2 or is there a toggle in php.ini?
