Upgrade the Laravel version need to take care of following things :
Please review the upgrade guide docs: https://laravel.com/docs/5.5/upgrade
For Compare the version code
https://github.com/laravel/laravel/compare/5.7...5.8
Compare your laravel version with new desired version for double sure. All thigs are working properly.
You can check and switch the php version which you want for double sure. How can I easily switch between PHP versions on Mac OSX?
If you have phpunit test case then run that test case for double sure. if something is breaking then you align and all test case pass.
Cheers you are on new php and new laravel version.
