Frequently Asked Questions
What are the new features in PHP 8.3 that improve web development?
PHP 8.3 (October 2025 stable) introduces: typed class constants, readonly amendments, json_validate() function, randomizer additions, improved error handling, and performance optimizations. Combined with PHP 8.0-8.2 features (enums, readonly properties, named arguments, union types, fibers), modern PHP offers robust type safety, better async support, and improved developer experience.
How does the PHP AI assistant work with modern PHP versions?
The AI assistant fully supports PHP 8.0, 8.1, 8.2, and 8.3 features. It generates code using enums, readonly properties, union/intersection types, attributes, match expressions, named arguments, constructor promotion, fibers, and all modern PHP syntax. It also understands when to use these features appropriately based on your project's PHP version and context.
Can the AI help migrate legacy PHP 5.x/7.x code to PHP 8.x?
Yes! The AI assistant excels at legacy code modernization. It can identify deprecated functions, suggest modern replacements, add type declarations, convert old array syntax to short array syntax, implement PSR standards, refactor procedural code to OOP, add namespace declarations, and gradually introduce PHP 8.x features. It understands breaking changes and provides safe migration paths.
Does it support WordPress, Laravel, and Symfony?
Absolutely! The AI has deep knowledge of WordPress (hooks, filters, WP-CLI, Gutenberg blocks), Laravel (Eloquent, Blade, Artisan, routing), and Symfony (bundles, Doctrine, Twig, console commands). It understands each framework's conventions, design patterns, and best practices, generating framework-specific code that follows official guidelines.
How does CodeGPT compare to other AI tools for PHP?
CodeGPT offers PHP-specific advantages: understands modern PHP 8.x features deeply, supports all major frameworks (Laravel, Symfony, WordPress), multi-model selection (Claude, GPT-5, Gemini), agent mode for complex refactoring, BYOK for cost control, and PSR standards compliance. The AI generates production-ready PHP code following best practices, security standards, and proper error handling.
Can I use it for WordPress plugin development?
Yes! The AI assistant is excellent for WordPress development. It can generate plugin boilerplate, create custom post types and taxonomies, build Gutenberg blocks, implement shortcodes, create admin pages, add settings APIs, generate WP-CLI commands, implement REST API endpoints, and follow WordPress coding standards. It understands WordPress hooks, filters, and the plugin development lifecycle.
What PHP frameworks does the AI understand?
The AI understands all major PHP frameworks including Laravel, Symfony, WordPress, CodeIgniter, CakePHP, Yii2, Zend/Laminas, Slim, Phalcon, and FuelPHP. It also knows micro-frameworks like Lumen and Silex. For each framework, it understands conventions, design patterns, CLI tools, ORM/query builders, templating engines, and ecosystem packages.
How does it handle PSR standards and best practices?
The AI generates PHP code following PSR standards (PSR-1, PSR-2, PSR-4, PSR-12) including proper naming conventions, autoloading, coding style, and interfaces. It implements SOLID principles, design patterns, proper error handling with exceptions, prepared statements for SQL security, type declarations for safety, and comprehensive PHPDoc comments.
