PHP Development
Dependable PHP development — new builds and legacy rescues
PHP powers a large share of the web, and it remains our core expertise. We build new Core PHP applications and modernise existing ones — upgrading PHP versions, fixing security issues and improving performance without disrupting your business.
The challenge
Business problems we solve
- An old PHP application breaks after a server upgrade
- The original developer is no longer available
- Pages are slow and the database is struggling
- Security vulnerabilities such as SQL injection exist in old code
Our solution
How NETMAT approaches it
We audit the codebase, fix critical issues first, upgrade to supported PHP versions, introduce prepared statements and structured code, and then continue improving in safe, tested steps.
What you gain
- Secure, supported PHP version
- Faster pages and queries
- Maintainable code
- No dependency on one developer
