To refactor PHP code for DTOs, implement readonly properties and PHP 8.1 enums to enforce immutability and type safety. This modernization replaces traditional classes, ensuring data integrity while adhering to PSR standards and SOLID principles.

The best way to enforce type safety and PSR standards in PHP 8.x is by integrating static analysis tools like PHPStan or Psalm alongside code formatters such as PHP CS Fixer or Pint. This combination automatically validates union types and SOLID principles.

Yes, you can use Composer to manage dependencies and PHPStan to validate SOLID principles in your PHP project. Static analysis detects architectural violations, ensuring interface-driven design and type-safe code throughout your codebase.

Modern PHP features like union types and match expressions improve maintainability by providing strict type safety and reducing complex conditional logic. Combined with readonly properties, they create predictable, easily testable code structures aligned with SOLID principles.

PHP CS Fixer and Pint both handle PHP code style formatting. You can configure either tool to enforce PSR standards automatically across your codebase, ensuring consistent formatting alongside static analysis checks provided by PHPStan or Psalm.
