Maybe use https://github.com/rectorphp/rector for automatic updates of PHP code

I saw this tool mentioned in PHP forums, it's free and open source and it's capable of fixing the old while(list() = each) syntax and others! Might be interesting.

ive used rector with great success small bits and single page files especially when targeting specific php versions but it is unaware of included files so often make mistakes updating full pages

Ah, that's annoying. Thanks for the input.

Ive never installed it to my server and run it from command line. Perhaps different?
ive only used it from sites like phptools.online/php-checker
