Solution:

Run a command to find the php.ini file:

$ php --ini

Output:

PS G:\xampp8\htdocs\laravel\StudentTodo\laravel-react-student> php --ini
Configuration File (php.ini) Path: 
Loaded Configuration File:         C:\Users\15t\.config\herd-lite\bin\php.ini
Scan for additional .ini files in: (none)
Additional .ini files parsed:      (none)

Open php.ini file with visualcode:

$ code C:\Users\15t\.config\herd-lite\bin\php.ini

Change FROM:

variables_order = "EGPCS"

Change TO:

variables_order = "GPCS"

Start server:

$ php artisan serve

Done.

This is the error I was receiving in the termanal to resolve:
