Laravel 5.5 requires PHP 7.0.0 or higher.. are you sure your php version 7 ? in console run php -v and in your routes file put this code and check
Route::get('phpinfo', function(){
phpinfo();
});

Is PHP 7.1 required for Laravel 5.5?
Hi,
Today I received an error when tried to reset a password using Laravel native controllers...
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '?', expecting variable (T_VARIABLE)
This error is related to the AttributeMatchingExtension class in vendor/symfony/css-selector/XPath/Extension/AttributeMatchingExtension.php file. In that file I found following syntax:
public function translateExists(XPathExpr $xpath, string $attribute, ?string $value): XPathExpr
{
return $xpath->addCondition($attribute);
}
I am working with Laravel 5.5 and PHP 7.0.29, which is good according to the default composer.json, but feature with nullable type declaration like ?string $value appears only in PHP 7.1.
Is it some way to keep Laravel 5.5 running on PHP 7.0.*?

Yes, I am sure, I receive an error with php version 7.0.29, if I change version to the 7.2.4 it works as expected...
I have even tried that with fresh Laravel installation, in vendor class ?string $value code is present

@rin4ik Thank you! Now it is clear for me.
Indeed, I have few php versions on my machine and php -v shows the latest one, that is why I received a code for PHP 7.1...
It works properly after this changes https://github.com/laravel/framework/issues/22955#issuecomment-361407384
Thank you!

@vd you are welcome. I told you about php -v earlier, php version the webserver
uses and command line version should always match
