Each versions documentation will cover which version is required. I usually just look at the composer. Json file.

php -v shows 7.4 but phpinfo(); shows 7.3
Hi, I have just cloned laravel 8 from GitHub. When I tried to access on the browser I got this error
Fatal error: Composer detected issues in your platform: Your Composer dependencies require a PHP version ">= 7.4.0". You are running 7.3.33. in /Users/david/Project/laravel8/vendor/composer/platform_check.php on line 24
php -v in terminal shows PHP 7.4.28. but phpinfo() shows 7.3 I am using valet on mac

php version in terminal and web server may different if you have multiple versions installed in your machine.
you need to check and configure your web server which version of php to used...
you did not mention your environment, I did not include any link for you but you can simply google it how to check and configure accordingly.

@david001 check if you have a .valetphprc file in the project that overrides the version. If not, try setting the version again
valet use [email protected]

@Sinnbeck I got this message Valet is already using version: [email protected]. To re-link and re-configure use the --force parameter

@david001 what? How is that even possible. Try setting the version for the project. Create a .valetphprc file and add this to it
[email protected]
Then run valet use

@david001 This happened to me, but on Homestead instead of Valet (so this may not be the right direction). Your CLI (php -v) can be on a different version than the served version of PHP (what shows up in phpinfo()).
I'm not familiar with Valet, but for me on Homestead, the fix was to manually specify the version in the Homestead config file (in my case homestead.yaml). I'm not sure if that's an option with Valet, but if it is, that might be a good place to start.
