valet use [email protected]
Valet doesn't support PHP version: php@8 (try something like '[email protected]' instead)
You're probably using an old Valet version.
composer self-update
Probably also good to brew upgrade
Then composer global update or composer global require laravel/valet to get the latest version.
Then valet install
Then you can valet use [email protected] or just valet use php (since 8.0 is latest currently)
I am still getting following errors:



Those messages report that you've locked composer to use or act as PHP 5.6.36, probably with a setting in your global composer.json file.
It's hard to help with your machine-specific problems when you skip the posting-instructions like you did when you opened this issue.
Please run valet diagnose and post the output here.

Is there a specific reason why you had locked it to PHP 5.6.36?
If not, then I suggest deleting the whole "config" array from your ~/.composer/composer.json file
cat ~/.composer/composer.json
{
"require": {
"laravel/valet": "^2.10",
"laravel/envoy": "^2.3",
"laravel/installer": "^4.1"
- },
- "config": {
- "platform": {
- "php": "5.6.36"
- }
}
}
@drbyte .
I don't know how it happens!
Let me remove the config and try again!
@drbyte
Thank you.. It was working! and I were successful to use PHP 8.0
Unfortunately I got another error..
Just a few moments ago, I needed to fix an error on an older project which required PHP 5.6. That's why I run the following command
valet use [email protected]
The command was working and I have fixed the error. So, I feel go to PHP 7.3/php8. But I am unable to go back the newest PHP version for the following errors.

You can probably fix that by running: brew unlink [email protected] and then valet use php.
Since you also already have PHP8 installed, if the above isn't enough, then also run: brew link php or brew link [email protected].
@drbyte
wow! It is now working. You saved my life
Thank you so much!
