I am trying to install laravel using composer on a specific website. The default php version for the server is 5.3.10, but I have optional php installed and enabled using ISPCONFIG control panel. The PHP version enabled for this website is PHP7.0.12

While using composer install I am getting - laravel/framework 5.2.41 requires php >=5.5.9 -> your PHP version (5.3.10) does not satisfy that requirement.

Even when trying to put a phpinfo file in the root directory of the folder and accessing it through browser I am getting php 7.0.12 correctly working for this website. How can address this issue?

Ubuntu 12 is fairly old. Is it possible to upgrade? – Matt Mar 24 '17 at 18:38
I have included that in the tag. it is ubuntu-12.04 – Joshi Mar 24 '17 at 18:39
ok resolved. I got the solution. `composer install --ignore-platform-reqs` – Joshi Mar 24 '17 at 18:42
Sure, that will install laravel but it will probably break on php 5.3 at some point. – Matt Mar 24 '17 at 18:43
however, composer install using the cli sapi , while when you write `phpinfo()` and browse it you are using the http server sapi – hassan Mar 24 '17 at 20:06
@hassan - is there any other way to overcome this issue. – Joshi Mar 24 '17 at 21:00
make sure that you've switched the http server version too – hassan Mar 24 '17 at 21:05
