Custom PHP Applications
Support for the code your business relies on.
Build a remediation plan for bespoke PHP applications, framework-based systems, portals, and integrations — even when documentation is incomplete.
A platform-specific review
The details that shape the plan.
Custom applications need their own context. We start with the runtime, structure, dependencies, and critical workflows so the work reflects how the system is used.
Application and dependency mapping
Review frameworks, libraries, available dependency records, and exposed interfaces.
Runtime compatibility
Identify custom code and integrations needing attention before a PHP change.
Configuration and access
Consider error handling, sessions, files, secrets, and access boundaries within the agreed scope.
Practical handover
Record changes, validation, and remaining work so your developers have clearer maintenance context.
Validation matters
Test the journeys your users rely on.
Agree representative checks before changes are made. The final validation scope depends on the site and its integrations.
- Authentication and authorization
- Critical forms and data flows
- APIs and third-party integrations
- Uploads, exports, and background jobs
- Error handling and operational logging

Questions, answered
A little more clarity.
Every environment is different. These answers help set the starting point.
Discuss your situationCan you review undocumented applications?
Discovery can establish a baseline. Missing documentation increases uncertainty, so implementation commitments may follow an initial review.
Is a penetration test included?
No. Assessment, code review, and penetration testing have different scopes. Specialist testing must be explicitly agreed.
Do you replace our development team?
No. Specialist capacity, findings, and coordinated fixes can sit alongside the people who understand the application.
