syntax error, unexpected '$url' (T_VARIABLE), expecting ')'

[SarasVe]

Hello, I've got syntax error after fresh install on laravel app for woocommerce webhook handle. Here is what I get:

Symfony\Component\Debug\Exception\FatalThrowableError
syntax error, unexpected '$url' (T_VARIABLE), expecting ')'

::Composer\Autoload\includeFile:28
vendor/spatie/laravel-webhook-client/src/WebhookClientServiceProvider.php:28

And the line is:
Route::macro('webhooks', fn(string $url, string $name = 'default') => Route::post($url, '\Spatie\WebhookClient\WebhookController')->name("webhook-client-{$name}"));

Make sure to have PHP 7.4 installed.

I am also encountering this error. I have php 7.4.2 installed.

PHP 7.4.2 (cli) (built: Feb 5 2020 16:50:38) ( NTS )

Same issue here using PHP 7.4.1. I don't get why @freekmurze closed it this fast.

@DLO33 @Globulard I had this issue, too, but when I doublechecked I didn't really have PHP 7.4, check in the context tab by the stack trace, just in case you have multiple php versions

same issue with 7.4.4.

If anyone is using Docker, you will need to maker sure that the PHP version in your container is also set to PHP 7.4. The error syntax error you are receiving is actually coming from the container's PHP version and not your local PHP version.

If using laradock, this is pretty easy to resolve.

First edit your laradock .env file on line 42 and set the PHP_VERSION value to 7.4

Then run docker-compose build php-fpm, followed by docker-compose build workspace

Once that's done, run docker-compose down and then bring your containers up as you normally would.

I hope this helps!

@mvrska appreciate the reply, finally got around to having a look at this and you were correct. Context was showing an older version of php. Updated Ngix and everything seems to be good now :)

Make sure to have PHP 7.4 installed.

the issue for me was that I had changed the php version but I had not restarted apache. Thank you for the hint!
