Same problem here with php 8.3 and Laravel 10

[patrickbrouwers]

This package runs perfectly on PHP8.3 and Laravel 10 as shown in our test runner https://github.com/SpartnerNL/Laravel-Excel/actions/runs/8180669583/job/22369151149

So please give more information if you expect help. "Lots of errors" and "Same problem" gives 0 clues to how I can even begin to try to help.

Sorry @patrickbrouwers, the problem is when installing throught Composer.

This is the log when I run composer require maatwebsite/excel:^3.1

The "3.1" constraint for "maatwebsite/excel" appears too strict and will likely not match what you want. See https://getcomposer.org/constraints
./composer.json has been updated

Your requirements could not be resolved to an installable set of packages.

  Problem 1
    - Root composer.json requires maatwebsite/excel 3.1 -> satisfiable by maatwebsite/excel[3.1.0].
    - maatwebsite/excel 3.1.0 requires php ^7.0 -> your php version (8.3.3) does not satisfy that requirement.


Installation failed, reverting ./composer.json and ./composer.lock to their original content.

But works when I run composer require maatwebsite/excel:^3.1.x-dev

Should you update composer.json to something like this?

"php": "^7.0||^8.0||^8.1||^8.2||^8.3",

Many thanks.

I've seen in your documentation that we must use composer require maatwebsite/excel if composer require maatwebsite/excel:^3.1 throws the previous error.

It's installs ok, so this issue is invalid for me.

Thanks.

I found the problem. Windows needs to escape the caret, so the correct commad for installing it is composer require "maatwebsite/excel:^3.1"

I knew it, but forgot 🤦‍♂️
