Be part of JetBrains PHPverse 2026 on June 9 – a free online event bringing PHP devs worldwide together.
I am uploading to a shared server and I get:
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected 'class' (T_CLASS), expecting identifier (T_STRING) or variable (T_VARIABLE) or '{' or '$' in /home4/xxx/index.php on line 52
This is line 52
$kernel = $app->make(Illuminate\Contracts\Http\Kernel::class);
I am not sure what the problem is
Make sure the version of php on the server is at least the minimum required for the version of laravel that you installed.
In the docs, each version of laravel has the minimum requirements that the server must have, like for 5.6 it's: https://laravel.com/docs/5.6/installation
