I’m trying to use laravel on my project. I installed using your softaculous program. Well, the Laravel version that it installs is 5.7.15 and it needs PHP \>= 7.1.3, but your latest PHP version is 7.0.19 .  
It needs to be updated @Admin in order to be compatible with Softaculous Laravel package. Will you do it?

Or you can downgrade the softaculous laravel package to 5.5 . It will also work

As with the other three topics about this in the last week:

We are planning to bring newer versions of PHP to free hosting in the near future. When that will be, I don’t know yet.
