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!
