Typical jobs & prices
What clients hire a PHP developer for
Indicative fixed prices. Your proposal is priced for your exact brief.
Repair a broken contact or enquiry form with email delivery

Replace mysql_* calls with PDO prepared statements
New Laravel feature with model, migration, controller and tests
Upgrade a Laravel app across two major versions
Custom Laravel admin panel for orders, users and reports
Old and new PHP, handled carefully
A large share of the web still runs on custom PHP written years ago: a booking system on a shared host, an internal admin panel, a CodeIgniter 3 app nobody has touched since its author left. When the host retires PHP 7.4, these break in ways that are tedious but very fixable — removed functions, stricter type errors, mysql_* calls that no longer exist, and warnings that suddenly become fatal errors.
For legacy code, the agent works from a copy of your site and database, clears one class of error at a time, and replaces string-built SQL with prepared statements as it goes, which closes the most common injection holes. It doesn't restructure the whole application unless you ask; the aim is a working system on a supported PHP version, with a list of what changed and anything risky it found along the way.
Modern PHP jobs are mostly Laravel: new features with controllers, Eloquent models and migrations; queued jobs; API endpoints for a front end; or upgrades across major Laravel versions. The agent follows Laravel conventions, writes feature tests with Pest or PHPUnit, and manages dependencies through Composer. A GrahAI engineer reviews every delivery, and deployment can go to your VPS, shared hosting or a server managed through Laravel Forge.
What you receive
- Code running on a supported PHP version, tested on a copy of your site
- Prepared statements in place of string-built SQL wherever code was touched
- Feature tests for new Laravel functionality
- Composer-managed dependencies and a deployment checklist
- Two revision rounds after you've tested on your own copy
When to hire a person instead
If the codebase is very large, undocumented and business-critical, a fixed-price job can fix the immediate breakage but can't replace a developer who learns the system over time. For a planned rewrite into a new framework, talk to our custom-project team first.
