I'm on Forge, so it shouldn't be a problem :p

Duplicate. Your options are as follows:

• Install the required extensions (best option)
• Run composer with the --ignore-platform-reqs flag (very hacky)
• Upgrade to Laravel 5 (we no longer user boris for the tinker command)

Or require boris v1.0.8 manually

I know L4.2 isn't supported anymore, but imho it would be an easy fix to change the composer.json for L4.2 to require "d11wtq/boris": "1.0.8", as that was the release at the time, and Boris apparently doesn't use SemVer.

@barryvdh perfect :-)
@GrahamCampbell Lots of people still using 4.2 for projects, and have no need/time/money for upgrading to L5.

and Boris apparently doesn't use SemVer.

Though, actually, boris has always needed this extension, they just forgot to put it in their composer.json, so from the perspective of the code, it wasn't a breaking change.

Right, but 4.2 is not maintained by us anymore. We'll only put security fixes into 4.x.

Or require boris v1.0.8 manually

Thanks @barryvdh, that's also a good solution, if not the best solution. :)

I had the same issue with php7 ( build from php7 source). Need to add --with-readline to enable php readline extension.
this is my configure command to generate Makefile

./configure --with-pdo-pgsql --with-zlib-dir --with-freetype-dir --enable-mbstring --with-libxml-dir=/usr --enable-soap --enable-calendar --with-curl --with-mcrypt --with-zlib --with-gd --with-pgsql --disable-rpath --enable-inline-optimization --with-bz2 --with-zlib --enable-sockets --enable-sysvsem --enable-sysvshm --enable-pcntl --enable-mbregex --with-readline --enable-exif --enable-bcmath --with-mhash --enable-zip --with-pcre-regex --with-mysqli --with-pdo-mysql --with-mysqli --with-jpeg-dir=/usr --with-png-dir=/usr --enable-gd-native-ttf --with-openssl --with-fpm-user=www-data --with-fpm-group=www-data --with-libdir=/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu --enable-ftp --with-kerberos --with-gettext --with-xmlrpc --with-xsl --enable-opcache --enable-fpm

Hope this will have someone have same issue like me ;)

ONLY Laravel 5.1+ supports PHP 7.
