hollow trout
is there a way i can upgrade this together?
steady river
So if you’re updating your Laravel framework version from 8.x to 9.x, you’re also going to need to update orchid/platform to a compatible version.
hollow trout
yes, but if i do that, i get the opposite error, that my laravel version does not match 
steady river
You need to update both at the same time
hollow trout
and if i try to do both it says the orchid is wrong version again

Problem 1
- Root composer.json requires laravel/framework ^v8.0, v9, found laravel/framework[dev-eloquent-collection-set-visible-hidden, dev-master, dev-revert-45453-where_key, dev-fix-predis-cluster, dev-feat/phpunit10, dev-process, v4.0

Problem 2
- Root composer.json requires orchid/platform 11.* -> satisfiable by orchid/platform[11.0.0, 11.0.1, 11.x-dev].
- orchid/platform[11.0.0, ..., 11.x-dev] require laravel/framework ^8.46 -> found laravel/framework[v8.46.0, ..., 8.x-dev] but it conflicts with your root composer.json require (^v8.0, v9).
Try removing it and then re-installing it so Composer tries and find a compatible version:
composer remove orchid/platform --no-scripts && composer require orchid/platform laravel/framework=^9.0
AAAAH

now it cries bc of php version

Problem 1
- Root composer.json requires laravel/framework 9.0 -> satisfiable by laravel/framework[v9.0.0].
- laravel/framework v9.0.0 requires php ^8.0.2 -> your php version (7.4.26) does not satisfy that requirement.
Problem 2
- Root composer.json requires orchid/platform ^13.9 -> satisfiable by orchid/platform[13.9.0, 13.9.1, 13.9.2, 13.9.3].
- orchid/platform[13.9.0, ..., 13.9.3] require laravel/framework ^9.21 -> found laravel/framework[v9.21.0, ..., 9.x-dev] but it conflicts with your root composer.json require (9.0).
Use the option --with-all-dependencies (-W) to allow upgrades, downgrades and removals for packages currently locked to specific versions.
You can also try re-running composer require with an explicit version constraint, e.g. "composer require orchid/platform:*" to figure out if any version is installable, or "composer require orchid/platform:^2.1" if you know which yo
u need.
Installation failed, reverting ./composer.json and ./composer.lock to their original content.
this will be fun in production
i switch to php version 8 now
but how can i tell the project i did
D:\Workspace\Web\riftq>php --version
PHP 8.1.0 (cli) (built: Nov 23 2021 21:48:28) (ZTS Visual C++ 2019 x64)
Copyright (c) The PHP Group
Zend Engine v4.1.0, Copyright (c) Zend Technologies
your php version (7.4.26) does not satisfy that requirement.
You need to read these errors.
hollow trout
```
D:\Workspace\Web\riftq>php --version
PHP 8.1.0 (cli) (built: Nov 23 2021 21:...
yes, i did. i also see that, i need to update it. hence the switch to php 8.1 as mentioned above. however it still wont allow me becasue php 7.4 is set in the composer.json as this:
"require": {
"php": "^7.4.0",
"ext-json": "*",
"doctrine/dbal": "2.*",
"fideloper/proxy": "^4.2",
...
Then change it.
You should just remove the line, since laravel/framework itself will declare a PHP version it needs to run.
steady river
Actually, no, sorry. Just change that line to "php": "^8.0.2"
It’s been a long day for me 😫
hollow trout
it's okay, im sorry to bother u like this anyway. but i tell u composer cross dependencies r not easy 
steady river
Yeah, you can get stuck in some pretty awkward inter-dependency hell like this.
If you change the PHP requirement to "php": "^8.0.2", then that should work with PHP 8.1 if that is the version you’re running on the command line.
hollow trout
okay, i changed that line

Problem 1
- Root composer.json requires laravel/framework 9.0 -> satisfiable by laravel/framework[v9.0.0].
- laravel/framework v9.0.0 requires symfony/console ^6.0 -> found symfony/console[v6.0.0-BETA1, ..., 6.3.x-dev] but these were not loaded, likely because it conflicts with another require.
Problem 2
- Root composer.json requires orchid/platform ^13.9 -> satisfiable by orchid/platform[13.9.0, 13.9.1, 13.9.2, 13.9.3].
- orchid/platform[13.9.0, ..., 13.9.3] require laravel/framework ^9.21 -> found laravel/framework[v9.21.0, ..., 9.x-dev] but it conflicts with your root composer.json require (9.0).
Problem 3
- fzaninotto/faker is locked to version v1.9.2 and an update of this package was not requested.
- fzaninotto/faker v1.9.2 requires php ^5.3.3 || ^7.0 -> your php version (8.1.0) does not satisfy that requirement.
You can also try re-running composer require with an explicit version constraint, e.g. "composer require orchid/platform:*" to figure out if any version is installable, or "composer require orchid/platform:^2.1" if you know which yo
u need.
Now i get this. Let me read about symfony console n stuff in the upgrade guide, maybe they wrote something about having to add some packages there
i did now remove the fzaninotto/faker aswell..
