PHP8 Version Trouble

[quarterdeck]

Don't know why this check is failing. I've got Homebrew installed in /opt/homebrew on an M1 Mac, don't know if that's related.

Fix the following mandatory requirements:

 * The application requires the version "^7.3" or greater.

I'm seeing this too, with forge-cli 1.2 and PHP 8.0.6 on macOS.

Same issue here

I'm running into the same issue. I'm installing it with composer global, I have tried reinstalling but I cannot make it work with PHP 8.

One way to make it work, at least until we figure it out is to bypass box requirement checks.

BOX_REQUIREMENT_CHECKER=0 forge --help

I'm starting to think the issue is that the binary wasn't rebuilt after adding PHP 8 supports 🤔 Last build is 8 months old but php8 support was added 7 months ago.

@mpociot Can you point me where to find out how to build the binary builds/forge, please? I don't get it. 🙏
