PHP to Laravel Migration in Gloucester
Rebuilding legacy PHP applications on Laravel for Gloucester organisations, where the difficulty is that there are no seams to cut along. Older PHP puts queries, business rules and HTML in the same file, so before anything can be moved incrementally, boundaries have to be found in code that was written without any.
Why this comes up
The problem
Business logic, database queries and markup share the same files, with no layer that can be extracted cleanly.
What you get
What we deliver
- Behaviour documented from the running application rather than inferred from code
- A strangler approach set up, so both applications serve traffic during transition
- Data access separated first, since this is usually the most tangled part
- Routes migrated incrementally with the old application handling the remainder
- Tests written as each area moves, because the original almost certainly has none
- Security issues addressed during the move rather than carried forward

PHP to Laravel Migration in Gloucester — common questions
- Can this be done incrementally?
- Yes, by routing requests between the old and new applications while both run. It is more work than a single rewrite and considerably less risky, because each area is proven in production before the next begins rather than everything changing at once.
- Why start with data access?
- Because queries scattered through the code are what prevent any other separation. Bringing database access behind a defined layer makes the rest of the extraction possible, and it also surfaces the queries that have been quietly slow for years.
- Should behaviour be reproduced exactly?
- Mostly, with judgement. Long-lived applications accumulate behaviour that was a bug somebody adapted to, so the migration needs a decision on each oddity rather than faithful reproduction — but changing everything at once makes it impossible to tell what broke.
- What about security?
- It usually needs attention. Legacy PHP predating modern practice commonly builds queries by concatenation, stores passwords weakly and trusts input it should not, so the rewrite is the appropriate moment to correct all three rather than reimplementing them faithfully.
- Do you work with businesses across Gloucestershire?
- Yes. We are based in Leicester, United Kingdom and work with clients throughout South West, including Gloucester and the surrounding Gloucestershire area. Most collaboration happens remotely, and we travel for kick-offs and key milestones.
- What kind of Gloucester businesses do you usually work with?
- Aerospace and manufacturing supply chain systems, with security and accreditation questions arriving in the first meeting. Beyond that we work across Aerospace, Manufacturing, Financial Services, Logistics and Cyber Security.
- Do you cover the areas around Gloucester?
- Yes — we work throughout South West, including Bristol, Worcester, Bath. Gloucester is an urban area of roughly 150,000+, and we take on work across the wider Gloucestershire region rather than the city boundary alone.
