2 years ago @mjauvin Would it be possible to display a more meaningful error?

2 years ago Here's a quick bootstrap thing I whipped up:
<?php namespace Winter\Storm\Foundation\Bootstrap;
class VerifyPHPCompatibility
{
private $php_version_minimum = '7.2';
private $php_version_less_than = '8.1';
/**
* Make sure PHP is compatible with WinterCMS
*
* @return void
*/
public function bootstrap()
{
if (version_compare(phpversion(), $this->php_version_minimum, '<')
|| version_compare(phpversion(), $this->php_version_less_than, '>=')
) {
trigger_error("PHP >= {$this->php_version_minimum} and < {$this->php_version_less_than} is required", E_USER_ERROR);
}
}
}Let me know if you're interested in a PR.

2 years ago @multiwebinc the solution would actually be to fix the PHP version requirement in composer.json:
https://github.com/wintercms/winter/blob/v1.1.8/composer.json#L32
Should be |^8.0.1

2 years ago @LukeTowers I think that should be ~8.0.0, since ^8.0.1 matches versions >=8.0.1 <9.0.0-0.
