I have a taxi system, and this code gives me

<?php
namespace App\Controllers;

use Illuminate\Http\Request;

class Controller
{
    public Request $request;
    public array $user;

    public function __construct()
    {
        $this->user = [];
        $this->request = Request::capture();
        if (key_exists('user', $_SESSION)) {
            $this->user = $_SESSION['user'];
        }
        if (count($this->user) === 0 && url()->contains('panel')) {
            return redirect(url('login-form'));
        }
    }
}

but the system is giving me error after writing these lines of code

Yeah, typed properties were introduced in PHP 7.4. In order to make your code snippet work, please remove properties type hints. Or update your PHP version to 7.4.

<?php

namespace App\Controllers;

use Illuminate\Http\Request;

class Controller
{
    public $request;
    public $user;

    public function __construct()
    {
        $this->user = [];
        $this->request = Request::capture();
        if (key_exists('user', $_SESSION)) {
            $this->user = $_SESSION['user'];
        }
        if (count($this->user) === 0 && url()->contains('panel')) {
            return redirect(url('login-form'));
        }
    }
}
