unexpected identifier "Closure"

[yjg18com]

This is:

I have a project that requires the use of exported excel and am learning PhpSpreadsheet, but for some reason it always fails to execute in my projects.

Error message
ParseError: syntax error, unexpected identifier "Closure", expecting variable in
/wwwroot/admin/vendor/maennchen/zipstream-php/src/ZipStream.php:111

php 8.02+ phpspreadsheet 1.29

$spreadsheet = new Spreadsheet();
$sheet = $spreadsheet->getActiveSheet();
$sheet->setCellValue('A1', 'Hello World !');

$writer = new Xlsx($spreadsheet);
$file_path = public_path().'/hello_world.xlsx';
$writer->save($file_path);

What features do you think are causing the issue

• Reader
• Writer
• Styles
• Data Validations
• Formula Calculations
• Charts
• AutoFilter
• Form Elements

Does an issue affect all spreadsheet file formats? If not, which formats are affected?

Which versions of PhpSpreadsheet and PHP are affected?

ubuntu 20.04.6
PHP 8.02
PhpSpreadsheet 1.29

ZipStream v3 requires PHP ^8.1 to work. I think you've ignored the plaform requirements when installing your dependencies or are running with a different version than the one used to run composer.

You can force the dependency back to v2 which is compatible with PHP 8.0 by requiring "maennchen/zipstream-php": "^2.4".

A similar problem was solved via #3615 (comment)
Perhaps that would also work for you.

Had this issue and your suggested solution helped me

Installed PHP version 8.2.8 with Codeigniter 4
I did composer require phpoffice/phpspreadsheet.

Install PHP VERSION >= 8.2 . I hope your problem will be solved ( For me it worked )
