Problem in creating first laravel project. Below are php ,laravel installer and composer version det-CodePudding

C:\xampp\htdocs>php -v PHP 8.1.11 (cli) C:\xampp\htdocs>composer -v Composer version 2.4.2 2022-09-14 16:11:15

C:\xampp\htdocs>laravel -v Laravel Installer 4.2.17

C:\xampp\htdocs>laravel new example-app3

Problem 1 - laravel/framework[v9.19.0, ..., 9.x-dev] require league/flysystem ^3.0.16 -> satisfiable by league/flysystem[3.0.16, ..., 3.x-dev]. - league/flysystem[3.0.16, ..., 3.x-dev] require league/mime-type-detection ^1.0.0 -> satisfiable by league/mime-type-detection[1.0.0, ..., 1.11.0]. - league/mime-type-detection[1.0.0, ..., 1.3.0] require php ^7.2 -> your php version (8.1.11) does not satisfy that requirement. - league/mime-type-detection[1.4.0, ..., 1.11.0] require ext-fileinfo * -> it is missing from your system. Install or enable PHP's fileinfo extension. - Root composer.json requires laravel/framework ^9.19 -> satisfiable by laravel/framework[v9.19.0, ..., 9.x-dev].

To enable extensions, verify that they are enabled in your .ini files: - C:\Program Files\php 8\php.ini You can also run php --ini in a terminal to see which files are used by PHP in CLI mode. Alternatively, you can run Composer with --ignore-platform-req=ext-fileinfo to temporarily ignore these required extensions.

I had the same problem and did it like this. B1: composer update --ignore-platform-req=ext-fileinfo (terminal). B2: php artisan serve (terminal). B3: generate app key -> refresh now.

Make sure to setup Environment variables in windows. Check this tutorials for instructions

Then try this:

composer global require laravel/installer
laravel new app-name

or this:

composer create-project laravel/laravel app-name
