I tried to run a website code that uses the Youtube API PHP library, but even though the server that I tried to run the code on is using PHP 7.3.3(which, google says is compatible) it's giving me an error that I say that I need to use PHP 8.1.0 or higher, and I can't use a newer version because the website that I trying to develop is using PHP 7.3.3.

I tried to search for a solution to his problem, but I couldn't find i solution to this problem.

btw, I'm using composer, is that could be the problem?

ok, here is the error message: Composer detected issues in your platform: Your Composer dependencies require a PHP version ">= 8.1.0". – יניב אקריש Aug 08 '22 at 07:37
Maybe you need to use a slightly older version of the youtube library then – ADyson Aug 08 '22 at 09:07
can you please explain me how to do that? – יניב אקריש Aug 08 '22 at 10:52
You should be able to ask composer to install a specific version. – ADyson Aug 08 '22 at 14:23
ok, but how do i do that, and how i can check if it was done correctly? – יניב אקריש Aug 09 '22 at 05:30

You run the command as shown, but replace the name of the package and the version number you want to install, in the places shown in the example. There's not much more to say. – ADyson Aug 10 '22 at 05:25
