syntax error, unexpected 'private' (T_PRIVATE), expecting variable (T_VARIABLE) about php-rest-api HOT 3 OPEN

@corelus I'm actually using XAMPP, but the results should be the same. To use PDO with MariaDB you need to install the PHP MySQL package - on Linux this would be

sudo apt-get install php-mysql

for example

from php-rest-api.

This looks like a PHP version issue - if you're on a version prior to PHP8, you can't use constructor property promotion (adding visibility modifiers in the constructor arguments)

Hi @daveh, great tutorial & nice work! thanks for sharing!
But could you please provide the environment requirements such as which PDO drivers are needed to get the project works. I started with this tutorial on youtube & wanted to continue the full course with Authentication & so on on Udemy, but I am kind of stuck at this point, because contrary to you in your the main tuto I'm not using MAMP, I am using docker and I'm running PHP 8 with MariaDB 10.9.3 & I've PDO Sqlite with its library SQLite Library | 3.34.1 running & I got the message -> could not find driver","file":"/var/www/html/src/Database.php","line":16
