Laravel Debugbar Showing Incorrect PHP Version with Octane (8.4 vs. 8.2)

Hello everyone,

I'm currently facing an issue with my Laravel application that uses Laravel Octane (with FrankenPHP as the web server). My VPS is running PHP version 8.2, but when I access my application and check the Laravel Debugbar, it's showing PHP version 8.4.

Here’s a brief overview of my setup:

• VPS PHP Version: 8.2 (confirmed via php -v command in the terminal)
• Laravel Version: 11
• Laravel Octane Version: 2.8
• Web Server: FrankenPHP

What I've Tried:

1. Confirmed the PHP version in CLI and the php version is 8.2.28
2. Created a route to display the PHP version being used in the application (phpversion()) and the version is php 8.4.5.
3. I use apache as reverse proxy.
4. Restarted the Octane server using php artisan octane:start.

Despite these steps, I still see that Debugbar is reporting an incorrect PHP version.

Questions:

• Has anyone else encountered this issue with Laravel Debugbar?
• Are there specific configurations in Octane or FrankenPHP that I might be missing?
• What steps can I take to align the PHP version correctly across my application environment?

Any insights or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you!
