Installing Laravel 13 and Creating Your First Project
Laravel is one of the most popular works for PHP. It is widely used in both small and large projects due to its simple syntax and powerful features.
To install Laravel 13, you must have PHP, Composer, and MySQL installed on your server. To create a new project using Composer, use the following command:
composer create-project laravel/laravel myproject
After the project is created, the database information is entered in the .env file. Then the project is started with the following command:
php artisan serve
Laravel allows you to structure your project more systematically through its Route, Controller, Model, and Migration systems. That's why most modern PHP projects are built on Laravel.
