PHP 8.x upgrades modernize codebases with type safety by applying Rector-based automated migrations, PHPStan static analysis, and native features like constructor property promotion, readonly properties, enums, and union types. Rector handles syntax conversions while PHPStan enforces type compliance to level 9+.

Migrate Symfony YAML service configuration to PHP by running Rector migrations targeting PHP 8.x patterns. This conversion modernizes service definitions into type-safe PHP arrays and attributes, improving IDE support and reducing configuration friction.

Yes. Rector automates structural migrations—constructor promotion, union types, attributes—while PHPStan validates type safety at configurable levels. Running Rector first, then PHPStan, ensures migrations are both syntactically correct and type-compliant across your codebase.

PHP 8.x enables constructor property promotion, readonly properties, enums, attributes, union and intersection types, and named arguments. These features reduce boilerplate, improve type safety, and enhance code readability when applied during systematic migration.

Rector handles migrations and feature adoption; PHPStan enforces static type analysis; php-cs-fixer standardizes code style; Composer manages dependencies. All three work synergistically. Rector and PHPStan are core; php-cs-fixer and Composer support the complete modernization workflow.

Rector automates large-scale, repetitive migrations—type hints, attribute conversions, Symfony pattern upgrades—reducing error and time. Manual refactoring scales poorly on legacy codebases. Rector's rule-based approach ensures consistency and completeness across thousands of files.
