I will fix your old broken PHP website and upgrade outdated code
Nir Banerjee
About this gig
Your old PHP website won't load. Error messages everywhere. Your host says "upgrade to PHP 8" but you're terrified it'll break everything. You need someone who fixes legacy code, not builds new sites.
That's exactly what I do.
I'm Nir, specialising in rescuing broken PHP websites. While others want shiny new projects, I solve the messy problems nobody else wants to touch - that's my speciality.
Common issues I fix:
Sites broken after PHP upgrades (5.x to 8.x), deprecated functions stopping your site, database connection and query errors, forms that stopped working, custom applications needing urgent repairs, old e-commerce checkout problems, and member portal authentication issues.
How I work:
I analyse your error logs, systematically fix compatibility issues, update deprecated code, and test thoroughly. You'll receive clear explanations of what was broken and how I fixed it.
Why choose me?
I don't judge your old code - I fix it. Legacy PHP, custom frameworks, hand-coded sites from any era. Fast turnaround. Clear communication throughout.
Before ordering: Message me with error details or site URL so I can recommend the right package.
Let's get your site working!

FAQ
My site is very old (e.g. PHP 5.3). Can you help?
Absolutely. Legacy and "messy" code is my speciality. I have extensive experience working with everything from PHP 4 to the latest PHP 8.x releases. If your original developer is no longer available, I can step in to stabilise and repair your system.
Can you fix any PHP error?
I can fix the vast majority of errors in custom and legacy PHP applications. If I find the issue is caused by severe server misconfiguration or missing source files rather than the code itself, I will diagnose the cause and consult with you before proceeding.
What access do you need to get started?
To diagnose and fix errors properly, I usually require: 1. cPanel/Hosting access OR FTP/SFTP credentials. 2. phpMyAdmin or database access. All credentials are treated with the utmost confidentiality and are never stored after the project is finalised.
Will there be any downtime?
I aim for zero downtime. I work methodically, testing changes carefully and using staging copies where possible. If a brief interruption is required for a server-side change, I will always coordinate this with you in advance.
Will my site be upgraded to PHP 8 automatically?
Only if the code is compatible. I always check for potential conflicts first. If a version upgrade risks breaking your site’s functionality, I will recommend the safest path—either patching the code for compatibility or maintaining a stable older version.
Do you provide backups before starting?
I strongly recommend having a fresh backup. While I take basic safety precautions, I offer a "Database Backup" gig extra for total peace of mind. I highly suggest this for any site containing important user data or transactions.
What if the problem is more complex than expected?
If I discover deeper issues—such as widespread malware, database corruption, or the need for a total core rewrite—I will pause, explain the situation clearly, and propose a fair adjustment to the scope.
What happens if the site breaks after delivery?
The fixes I apply are permanent for the issues addressed. 1. Standard Guarantee: If the specific issue I fixed returns within 7 days, I will rectify it free of charge. 2. Premium Support: My Premium package includes 7 days of dedicated post-delivery support for any related questions or concerns.
