You will. If Laravel says >= 7.1.3 that's what it needs.

php version
hi .. my host php version is 7.1 - Will I have a problem with installing Laravel? Because Server Requirements in laravel site is 7.1.3
Level 75
Use ver 5.5, it is LTS version.

Check the exact version by running php -v on your server or ask your hosting provider if you don't have shell access.
Laravel 5.6 requires >= 7.1.3. Laravel 5.5 (the latest LTS) will work with >= 7.0.0, so you could always use that one.
Level 1
my project finish in laravel 5.6 -- how change to 5.5 ?
Level 50
@blackrose The best way to do this is by changing the value of the Laravel version inside the composer.json file to "laravel/framework": "5.5.*",. delete vendor folder and run composer install

Follow the directions in the upgrade guide.

@spekkionu He's using 5.6 already. He's trying to downgrade to 5.5 so it will work with his current php version.
Level 75
Or just up your php version, choice is yours.

I guess for downgrading you can just follow the same steps in reverse.
Really though you are better off upgrading php. There should not be any issues if you stay within the 7.1 branch and Laravel 5.6 works great in 7.2 so upgrading should be an easy process unless you have some older applications on the server as well. PHP should be kept up to date within the minor branch or you will miss out on any security fixes in each release.
