@eddy1992 what operating system are you using?
Does running php -v also shows 7.3.11?

Installing Laravel 6
I want to install Laravel latest version. So I am using the following command -:
composer create-project --prefer-dist laravel/laravel public/
The problem is that it keeps on installing Laravel version 5.8.35.
Installing laravel/laravel (v5.8.35)
- Installing laravel/laravel (v5.8.35): Loading from cache
Now my php cli version is PHP 7.3.11 and php info also shows the same but it still installs 5.8.35
So I was trying to fix this issue by running -:
composer create-project laravel/laravel public/ "6.*"
and it gave me the following error -:
[InvalidArgumentException]
Could not find package laravel/laravel with version 6.* in a version installable using your PHP version 7.1.33.
Please assist me in installing the latest Laravel version.
Thank you

@eddy1992 try composer global update so that the laravel installer gets updated as well.

I am not using Laravel installer. @nakov

Nakov suggested updating composer, not the installer
Clearly composer thinks your PHP is 7.1. You need to track down the reason for that

@eddy1992 and why not install the laravel installer and try creating a project like laravel new project_name. Or just close your terminal and open it again in case it keeps the old session for some reason which does not make sense as you said that PHP version is the new one, if you tried that in the same window.

Okay, let me try.
