From one of my client I received an old database management website that was built around 6 to 7 yeas ago using PHP, now I need to add some features to it. The problem is that, its not working on local server, and I think the problem is with the old PHP code deterioration. Is there any simpler way that I could use to replace old PHP non functional functions with currently using functions of PHP, besides manually looking up in the code and replacing it? Which I find is very troublesome and leads to many new errors.
Is there any way I could make this process fast?
I have never heard of scripts that would automatically update your PHP functions, and I would assume any script that advertises as such would be quite error-prone and end up causing even more errors.
Short of you just sitting down and doing it, you might check out a site like freelancer.com, because I bet you could pay some kid to do it for less than $30. It’s not hard work, it’s just tedious!
If you do end up doing it on your own, make sure your error reporting is on
