[aarseneault-kryzalid]

Is the bug applicable and reproducable to the latest version of the package and hasn't it been reported before?

• [X] Yes, it's still reproducable

What version of Laravel Excel are you using?

3.1 and up

What version of Laravel are you using?

9.19

What version of PHP are you using?

php 8.2.4

Describe your issue

Cannot install laravel excel on php versions starting with 8.2 and up.

Problem 1

• Root composer.json requires maatwebsite/excel 3.1 -> satisfiable by maatwebsite/excel[3.1.0].
• maatwebsite/excel 3.1.0 requires php ^7.0 -> your php version (8.2.4) does not satisfy that requirement. Problem 2
• phpspec/prophecy 1.14.0 requires php ^7.2 || ~8.0, <8.2 -> your php version (8.2.4) does not satisfy that requirement.
• phpunit/phpunit 9.5.9 requires phpspec/prophecy ^1.12.1 -> satisfiable by phpspec/prophecy[1.14.0].
• phpunit/phpunit is locked to version 9.5.9 and an update of this package was not requested.

How can the issue be reproduced?

trying to install laravel excel on a php 8.2 project

What should be the expected behaviour?

failing to install

Php 8.2 has been supported for years. Try to lock to the latest version to see what other dependencies block the install

@aarseneault-kryzalid please try to delete composer-lock.json file and run composer install again

I'm using php 8.3 with this package, its all about the caret (the version number at the end) See the docs here: https://docs.laravel-excel.com/3.1/getting-started/installation.html

In short terms, just use: composer require maatwebsite/excel
