I will upgrade and debug your legacy PHP app latest PHP version


About this gig
Running an old PHP app that breaks, shows errors, or can't move to a modern server? I'll make it work on PHP 8.x and fix what stops it.
What I do:
- Find and fix deprecated and removed functions (e.g. mysql_* to mysqli/PDO)
- Fix fatal errors, warnings, and notices after the upgrade
- Update old libraries and dependencies where needed
- Check database compatibility and fix encoding problems
- Test the main features and report what changed
How it works:
- You send the code (or a sample) and your current and target PHP versions
- I review it and confirm scope and price
- I work on a copy, never on your live site
- You receive the updated code and a short change report
Please message me before ordering with your PHP version, framework or CMS (if any), and approximate size of the app.

FAQ
Why do you need to see the code first?
Effort depends on how old it is, which functions it uses, and whether it has dependencies. A sample lets me quote accurately.
Do you work on my live site?
No. I work on a copy and deliver the updated code, or deploy it if you add the extra.
What if there's no documentation or tests?
That's common with legacy apps. I test the main features and list what I verified. Heavy undocumented logic may need a custom offer.
Can you upgrade WordPress, Joomla, or OpenCart plugins and themes?
Yes, within reason. Tell me the platform and versions before ordering.
Which PHP version do you target?
PHP 8.x. Tell me the exact version you need.
