Rector VS fig-standards

As part of the journey to PHP perfection, you should embrace Rector. It's a amazing, free, and open-source tool for migrations, code quality, type coverage, pushing PHPStan to the highest levels, and yes, it can even auto-fix your existing code! It seamlessly integrates into the CI process, making your development workflow smoother than ever.

If you want a speed boost, there's a tool: https://github.com/rectorphp/rector

Rector can help automating some changes.

Yep... Rector

I'd also recommend taking a look at Rector to help automate some of this.

You could give rector a try

If you want to upgdate an old project quickly, I recommend checking out Rector, which, among other uses, can quickly update code from older PHP versions.

The namespaces and class names must follow this example.

I would familiarize yourself with the following PHP standards: https://www.php-fig.org

The PHP Standard Recommendation, or PSR for short, from the aforementioned PHP-FIG.

That's what happens if you use a PSR-4 autoloader and not utilise PSR-4 in your project structure 👀 So either use PSR-0 or properly use PSR-4.

PHP really "got it's act together" in my view when packagist and composer (which are PHP's equivalent of npm) became mainstream and with the release of the PSR community standards. We were admittedly a little behind the curve with regards to package managers but with standardised formats and not having to copy and paste zip file libraries anymore, PHP received a new lease of life.
