check your php version first using php -v. this will not print exact php version all time time. that's why you should use in code — Ariful Islam, Sep 28 '20 at 05:46

Laravel 8 requires PHP >= 7.3. You are using a lower version than that which is why it does not support the trailing comma in function calls.

The error is the proof that you are using the wrong version.

PHP.net Manual - 7.3 Features - Trailing Commas are allowed in Calls

My PHP version is PHP 7.4.10 (cli) (built: Sep 1 2020 16:52:21) ( NTS Visual C++ 2017 x64 ) Copyright (c) The PHP Group Zend Engine v3.4.0, Copyright (c) Zend Technologies – Khondoker Eftakhar Jubayer Sep 28 '20 at 05:50

you are using the wrong version ... there are multiple versions on your system (7.4 is just what the CLI is using) ... again the error is the proof – lagbox Sep 28 '20 at 05:56

It's seem like a comma issue on line 50 end.

Thanks

this is supported in PHP >= 7.3 – lagbox Sep 28 '20 at 06:03
Please provide more information - an answer should not only inspect the error, but also provide a way to resolve it – Nico Haase Sep 28 '20 at 07:08
