adding voyager to existing laravel application

[robertlight]

• Laravel Version: latest
• PHP Version: 7.0.5
• Database Driver & Version: mysql (using php mysqli)

I have a Twilio based IVR (interactive voice response) system built using Laravel. I would like to keep all my existing code and add an admin dashboard to the system.

Can I just go to my existing laravel root directory and enter:

"composer require tcg/voyager"

and have it use my existing database?

is it really that easy?

As near as I can tell voyager does not officially support 5.6 yet, so likely, no. :/

[robertlight]

php artisan --version
Laravel Framework version 5.1.41 (LTS)

I'm running 5.1.41 it seems

[robertlight]

I gave it a whirl... here's what I got:

composer require tcg/voyager

Using version ^1.0 for tcg/voyager ./composer.json has been updated

I have php7 available on my hosting account... I set .htaccess in public/ to:

AddHandler application/x-httpd-php70 .php

and phpInfo() shows php7.0 as the working version.

Any ideas how I fix this?

Are you using cPanel? https://github.com/composer/composer/issues/6918

[fletch3555]

Voyager does not support laravel 5.1.* (which also isn't latest by the way). We currently support 5.4 and 5.5.

In order to update to 5.5, you would have to install php 7.0 (per the Composer error message). I see you told apache to use php7 with the public/.htaccess file. Unfortunately, composer doesn't use that, so it won't make a difference. You'll have to research how to tell composer what version to use, but that's beyond the scope of this project.
