Maintenance and upgrades
PHP version upgrade for your site or project
I'll move your site to a current PHP version - with no downtime and no data loss. Compatibility check, dependency updates, fixing deprecated code and full testing.
What's included
From a compatibility check to switching the live site over to the new version.
Audit
Compatibility check
I run the code through an analyzer to find deprecated functions and spots that will break on the new version.
Composer
Dependency updates
Bumping Composer packages and libraries to versions that work with the new PHP, resolving conflicts and abandoned packages.
Code
Fixing deprecated code
Rewriting deprecated functions and old syntax so everything runs on PHP 8 with no warnings in the logs.
Servers
Server setup
Installing the right PHP-FPM version and extensions and switching the site over cleanly, with no downtime.
Testing
Full testing
Going through the key flows after the upgrade: forms, payments, user accounts and the admin panel.
Safety
Backup and rollback
I take a copy of the site and database before starting. If anything goes wrong, we roll it back.
How it works
I look at the project
I check the code and the server, estimate the scope of work and the risks.
I upgrade on a copy
I bump PHP and dependencies on a test copy, fix the code and test it.
I switch the live site
After checks I move the live site to the new version - with a backup and a rollback ready.
