I have an old project which I developed in Laravel 5.3 and I want to upgrade the project to Laravel v9. What are the steps to upgrade?
What I have seen so far on the internet and from my knowledge:
Upgrade to each higher version step by step e.g 5.3 to 5.4 ... 6 to 7 to 8 to 9
I am running php 8 on my macos. And currently, my code is not running because of deprecated methods in php 5.6
that my Laravel 5.3
is using.
How to upgrade properly?
My composer.json file is
