Target PHP 8.0

One deliberate version transition. Review the work before you deploy. Upgrade all the way to PHP 8.5.

A steady upgrade, not a leap of faith

Modernisation you control.

Move legacy applications forward with clear, version-specific changes and practical automated checks at every step.

Automated transformations

Automatically apply deterministic, version-specific code changes so you spend less time on repetitive edits.

Built-in validation

Check syntax before and after a transformation, then surface compatibility issues that may need your attention.

Reviewable changes

Get upgraded source, a patch and a detailed report so you can understand each change before deploying.

Made for real applications

Support incremental upgrades across the codebases developers, agencies and hosting teams maintain.

A practical three-step workflow

From legacy code to a clearer next step.

PHPLift helps you make a focused transition, then gives you the material to decide what happens next.
