I have mentioned in my one of extension in composer.json. Could anyone tell what does it mean. I think it means that the php version should be greater than 7.4.0 but less than 8.2.0 but when i installed it on version 8.1.25 it gave this error - version has a PHP requirement incompatible with your PHP version (8.1.25) Also If i want to allow version greater than 7.4.0 and 8.0.0 and greater than that also then what condition to put
"require": {
"php": "^7.4.0|^8.2.0",}
The ^ symbol in front of the version numbers indicates the package requires a PHP version that is equal to or greater than the specified version, but less than the next major version the same major release.
The | symbol between the two versions indicates the "or" condition.
In your specific case, ^7.4.0|^8.2.0. You should use a PHP version equal to or greater than 7.4.0, but still within the same major release (in this case, PHP 7.x), or a PHP version equal to or greater than 8.2.0 within the same major release (PHP 8.x).
>7.4.0. However, if you still allow 7.4.0, then use >=7.4.0
~7.4.0||~8.1.0||~8.2.0.
"php": ">7.4". equal to or greater than 7.4 "php": ">=7.4". Note, since there is only one condition, you'll need to remove the | symbol after the version number.
^7.4.0 is equivalent to >=7.4.0 <8.0.0
so you should use this in your composer.json
~7.4.0||~8.1.0||~8.2.0
^7.4.0 means any version equal to or greater than 7.4.0 but less than 8.0.0.
|^8.2.0 means any version equal to or greater than 8.2.0 but less than 9.0.0.
So you need to add below changes to allow PHP version 8.1.25, for example:
"require": {
"php": "^7.4.0|^8.1.0|^8.2.0"
}
