The Problem

Mentis Australia's business system ran on legacy vanilla PHP 5, with outdated coding practices that needed attention alongside the runtime upgrade.

Our Solution

We upgraded the system to PHP 8 and addressed outdated practices in the existing codebase.

Outcome

A significantly faster business system with improved security, running on PHP 8.

The existing application

Mentis Australia engaged us to upgrade its existing business system from vanilla PHP 5 to PHP 8. We worked on the existing codebase so the business could keep using its application.

Code changes

Alongside the PHP upgrade, we addressed outdated software practices in the codebase. The resulting system runs significantly faster and has improved security.
