PHP Modernization Roadmap

Build an ordered migration stage list from your PHP version, framework, Composer, database API, and deployment choices—linked to real ZendStudio.net guides.

How it works

What it does

The Modernization Roadmap turns a few maintenance facts into an ordered stage list with links into this site’s migration guides and scanners. It is a navigational recommender, not an exhaustive automated upgrade plan.

When to use it

  • You inherited a PHP app and need a sensible first sequence
  • You are choosing between jumping PHP majors vs stepping through bridges
  • You need to separate ZF1 containment from ZF2/ZF3 → Laminas tooling

How input is processed safely

Only the form fields you select are processed. No application source is required. Results cite on-site guides; always keep backups and verify against official PHP/Laminas documentation.

Run in browser

AJAX processing only. No remote PHP execution sandbox. Results are not indexed.

Output is a staged checklist with links into this site. It is not a complete migration specification.

Inputs are processed for this request only and are not stored in analytics. Object unserialize and arbitrary PHP execution are blocked.

Safety notes

  • Submitted tool contents are not written to analytics or search logs.
  • This site never evaluates arbitrary PHP from the browser.
  • Generated configs are starting points—validate on a staging host before production.
