So I just pulled a repo to work on locally for a bedrock/sage project and did composer install. Everything was installed fine etc with no warnings or errors.
When I run yarn start I see this error…
Fatal error: Composer detected issues in your platform: Your Composer dependencies require a PHP version ">= 7.4.0". You are running 7.3.33. in /Users/mike/sites/mt/web/app/themes/maintenance-sage/vendor/composer/platform_check.php on line 24
I have run php -v and get this…
PHP 7.4.26 (cli) (built: Nov 24 2021 14:01:17) ( NTS )

Not sure where to go from here. Google hasn’t offered up anything useful.
As far as I know, just because php -v indicates you have a specific version installed doesn’t mean that’s the version that’s used by your web server (local or remote).
So: could you have multiple versions of PHP installed on your machine?
I develop on Ubuntu, and I know that there are multiple versions of PHP installed. I am using Apache to access my site locally and had to specifically configure Apache to use PHP 7.4.
I develop locally using Laravel Valet and that was set to php@7.4 and the only PHP version I have installed was through Homebrew and that was also PHP@7.4 and has been that way since I bought my mac mini 3 months ago.
In the end, the age-old trick of turning it off and on again worked. I restarted all brew services and rebooted my machine and it solved the issue. Strange that it just decided to do that this one time.
