    You need to install PHP version 7.1 because nullable types were introduced in 7.1:

    ?string $value

    And from the Laravel docs:

    You will need to make sure your server meets the following requirements:

    PHP >= 7.1.3

    For php7.0 only

    If your server doesn’t have php 7.1 and above and you are only restricted to use php7.0
    do as below:

    1. Delete vendor folder
    2. Delete composer.lock file

    3. Add this to composer.json file under config

      "platform": {
   "php": "7.0.0"
}

    As well, ensure PHP version under require is set to 7.0.0 as shown below in config.platform.php:

        "config": {
        "platform": {
            "php": "7.0.0"
        }
     }
    1. Run composer install using CMD

    This now will make sure that only dependencies compatible with php7.0 are installed.
