    <p>I'm running into issues installing Laravel 4... I am following the instructions posted here:</p> <p><a href="http://badubizzle.blogspot.com/2013/01/setting-up-laravel-4-on-webfaction.html" rel="nofollow">http://badubizzle.blogspot.com/2013/01/setting-up-laravel-4-on-webfaction.html</a></p> <p>My host allows multiple versions of PHP to run at the same time, so running the command <code>php</code> will run php 5.2.17 on whatever you specify next. I know you need greater than php 5.3 to run Laravel 4, so I am using php 5.4 to do so. I can either specifically type <code>php54</code> to run the command under php 5.4, or an alias can be made in the .bash_profile to do so just when typing php, which is what I did.</p> <p>Now, when I run the command <code>php -v</code>, I get the following:</p> <pre><code>PHP 5.4.16 (cli) (built: Jul 24 2013 07:46:20) Copyright (c) 1997-2013 The PHP Group Zend Engine v2.4.0, Copyright (c) 1998-2013 Zend Technologies with the ionCube PHP Loader v4.2.1, Copyright (c) 2002-2012, by ionCube Ltd. </code></pre> <p>The reason I did that was because when using composer, it seems that a lot of the commands it runs, it finds in the laravel files that are downloaded, and they all start with <code>php</code>, instead of <code>php54</code>, so I figured by making the alias, I should be fine, right? Wrong.</p> <p>When I run this line:</p> <pre><code>php ~/composer.phar install </code></pre> <p>The system gets a bunch of files (like it should), and then it gets to this error:</p> <pre><code>Warning: Unexpected character in input: '\' (ASCII=92) state=1 in /home/apps/laravel-master/artisan on line 46 Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING in /home/apps/laravel-master/artisan on line 46 Script php artisan optimize handling the post-install-cmd event returned with an error </code></pre> <p>When I research this error, everything I see says that it's an error of not running a high enough PHP version, and that you need to run <code>php54</code> or something. I am doing that, and I'm still getting this error! Any ideas here? This REALLY has me stumped and I'm getting super frustrated. I would really appreciate any help anyone can offer!!</p> <p><strong>EDIT</strong></p> <p>I have tried following Laravel's documentation and have run into the same issue once I run the <code>composer create-project laravel/laravel your-project-name --prefer-dist</code> command - it runs for a while, and then gets to the parse error. I really have no idea what's wrong here!</p>

    1. COThose instructions look old - why dont you start again and just use the official installation docs here - it might solve your problem - http://four.laravel.com/docs/installation

    2. COI've tried that method multiple times, which is why I was branching out to try and find other solutions... Nothing I've tried is working.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
