Laravel安装上的PHP解析错误

Question

After installing Laravel and updating Composer, I get a weird PHP syntax error in my PHP error logs:

PHP Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '.' in /Applications/MAMP/htdocs/scandipage/public/index.php on line 21

Line 21 of index.php:

require __DIR__.’/../bootstrap/autoload.php';

Already checked PHP version on my Mac (PHP 5.5.10 (cli) (built: Apr 10 2014 17:49:22) ). What else could be the reason for this error?

Answer 1

Your single quote doesn't look right (note the difference at the first opening quote). Try replace line 21 with this:

require __DIR__.'/../bootstrap/autoload.php';

It feels a little uncomfortable to me that a default file from Laravel does this. You may want to reclone your project again.
