beryllium / beautifulphp Goto Github PK

I am seeking a handful of code examples - things (horrors!) that people have encountered in the wild - preferably with matching examples of how they were modernized, so BeautifulPHP.com can become a handy open-source guide to PHP modernization with side-by-side views of "pre-historic PHP" and "modern PHP".

It would be best if each example would highlight one or two (at most) things that have been improved in PHP either from changes to the language itself, cooperation of the community, improvements in the engineering process, or even a result of PHP-FIG standardization.

My ultimate goal is for people who are in "crunch mode" or just don't know about modern PHP will see the site and it will help them understand that there are new and easy ways to build maintainable, tested, and secure projects with PHP. We can always use more sites touting a modern PHP approach, to try and further combat outdated information that is crusted around the pilings of the Internet like barnacles on a pier.

If you can provide some examples, that would be great! Thanks!

"We want to avoid a situation like exists with Python 2/3 and Perl 5/6, where two separate versions of the language are being actively used."

It should be "like the one that exists" or something other than "like exists."
