Check and see if something in your code requires a higher php version than you have.

Just a suggestion. Php has a wiki with changes.

@soheila-s check this link requirement which we need for laravel 9 - https://laravel.com/docs/9.x/releases#support-policy and i mostly try to use stable version of php and laravel otherwise it may give us a conflict also check this article https://laravel-news.com/laravel-9-48-0

Go to settings, search for 'php version'.

Step 1: Find Intelephense > Environment: PHP Version then set it to what PHP version you have, ex:(8.2.0).

Step 2: Edit your settings.json

"php.executables": {
      "v8.2.0" :  "/xampp/php" 
},
 "php.version": "v8.2.0"

Step 3: Find PHP: Version then set it to v8.2.0 same with key that you provide in settings.json > php.executables
