PHP upgrade and migration services in Spain

GDPR-first, fully documented and hosted in the EU, with a senior team working your morning hours.

Clarigo Infotech upgrades and migrates legacy PHP applications: PHP 5 and 7 to PHP 8, hand-written PHP to Laravel or Symfony, old CMS and framework versions to supported ones, or a full move to Node.js or another stack when that is the better long-term choice. We add tests first, then upgrade step by step, so the site or app keeps working throughout.

Spanish companies most often hire us for SaaS, e-commerce and tourism platforms, and AI automation.

What matters to Spain teams

Privacy, quality and clear documentation

European teams tell us they want a partner who treats data protection and quality as the starting point, not an add-on. That is how we work.

01

GDPR by design

Data minimisation, consent, EU hosting and a signed data processing agreement before any personal data is touched.

02

Documentation you can audit

Written specifications, architecture notes, test reports and handover documents, so your team or auditors can follow every decision.

03

Accessible by default

Interfaces built to WCAG guidelines, helping you meet the European Accessibility Act for digital products and services.

04

Predictable contracts

Fixed scope and price, clear milestones and acceptance criteria, and full ownership of the code and IP.

What we do

What our PHP migration covers

PHP version upgrades

PHP 5.x and 7.x to PHP 8, fixing deprecated functions, extensions and incompatible libraries.

Framework upgrades

Old Laravel, Symfony, CodeIgniter, CakePHP and Zend versions brought up to supported releases.

Legacy PHP to Laravel

Unstructured PHP code reorganised into a clean, tested Laravel or Symfony application.

PHP to Node.js or other stacks

A planned migration to Node.js, Python or another stack when it fits your team and roadmap.

Database and hosting

MySQL upgrades, query fixes, and a move from shared hosting to containers or the cloud.

Security and performance

Security patches, dependency updates, caching and profiling so the app is safe and fast.

In depth

How we approach PHP migration

Why PHP upgrades can't wait

Older PHP versions no longer receive security updates, and many hosts and libraries are dropping support. An upgrade closes known vulnerabilities and usually makes the application noticeably faster.

Tests before changes

Legacy PHP rarely has tests. We add them around the most important flows first, so we can prove the upgraded version behaves exactly like the old one.

Spanish working days overlap with India by three and a half to four and a half hours, so your team is online for stand-ups and calls every morning your time.

The GDPR and Spain's LOPDGDD

We design to the GDPR and the LOPDGDD: data minimisation, consent, access controls, encryption, EU hosting and a data processing agreement signed before work starts.

Invoices in euros (EUR) or US dollars. Typical senior rates are $25 to $49 (USD) per hour, or a fixed price for a defined scope.

Process

How it works

1. Free assessment

We review your code, dependencies, infrastructure and data, then give you a written migration plan, risks and a fixed quote.

2. Plan and safety net

We add automated tests and monitoring around what exists today, so every change can be checked against the old behaviour.

3. Migrate in small steps

Module by module, with both versions running side by side where needed. You see progress in a demo every week.

4. Cut over and support

A planned switch-over with a rollback path, then the same engineers stay on to fix, tune and keep it current.
