Re: issues upgradubg laravel/php apps.

hi..

to begin.. this might be "toppost".. using gmail.. can't yet figure out how
to "insert" my reply within the body!

that said..

After rethinking a bit on what Ashley had mentioned, I've found a few
random repos/apps with laravel 12/php 8.3. my goal to be able to get them
to "install" -- composer install with no errs..

This would give me a "starting basis" (hopefully), and I can build from
there, adding additional packages that I have in my "test" apps..

This might/should help to narrow down potential issues..

Keep in mind, my only reason for doing this.. to be able to actually
build/run/view potential apps that have items that I can copy/use in my
actual test project that I want to create..

If i get to this point, I'd actually have something I could then discuss
with devs to refactor/make better for the initial testing..

thoughts!
