Off-the-shelf PHP App Security Updates
Moodle, phpBB, MediaWiki and SuiteCRM are supported applications with defined version paths. When PHP updates land, the supported version of the app is upgraded and verified on staging.
Supported-app releases · Version verification · Upgrade from £4,999
Verified App Release Path
We apply supported-app releases tested against the new PHP version, on staging, before any change reaches production.
No Surprise Plugin Conflicts
Supported-app releases include core-only updates; extra plugins are covered in the repair terms of the upgrade, not hidden.
Clear Documentation
Every upgrade includes a written release summary showing which versions changed and which plugins were verified.
What's Included
Common Scenarios
App Running an Old PHP Version
Your supported app is on an end-of-life PHP version and needs a version upgrade (from £4,999).
App Security Patch Needed
A CVE hits your supported app; we apply the latest supported-app release that includes the fix and verify it on the new PHP version.
Unknown Exposure
Not sure which version or PHP release you are running? The £149 check reveals it, and the result drives the upgrade scope.
How an App PHP Upgrade Runs
£149 Check
We confirm the app's release version, the PHP version it executes on, and exposure to CVE-2026-109618/109619 — plus the app's upstream compatibility matrix so we know exactly which releases support your target PHP.
Staging Clone
A full copy of the app and its data directory goes to staging on the target PHP version. Moodle data directories, phpBB attachments and SuiteCRM custom modules are all included — config files are where these upgrades usually break.
App and PHP Upgrade Together
The app is stepped to a supported release that matches the new PHP version — some apps need intermediate hops (e.g. Moodle upgrade paths). Up to 5 broken items are repaired in scope.
Verify and Cut Over
Logins, core workflows and scheduled tasks are exercised on staging, then production is switched in a quiet window with rollback. A written release summary lists every version that changed.
Pricing
Transparent, scope-based pricing. Every job includes a backup, a staging test and a post-change check.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which applications do you cover?+
Moodle, phpBB, MediaWiki and SuiteCRM, plus any supported app that runs on PHP with a defined release path. Each upgrade is scoped after the check.
Does the upgrade include customization repair?+
Up to 5 broken framework or customization items are included in the £4,999 upgrade. Additional items are £95 each and always agreed before work.
Can the check alone tell me what I need?+
Yes — the check delivers the version exposure and an upgrade or maintenance recommendation. You can take the result and act on it yourself, or proceed with the upgrade.
My app isn't in your list — can you still upgrade it?+
Usually, yes. Any PHP application with a defined release path (osticket, LimeSurvey, Matomo, ERPNext's PHP parts, custom installs) follows the same process. The £149 check confirms whether your app has a PHP-8-compatible upstream release before we quote.
Will custom modules or plugins survive the upgrade?+
Core updates are tested against upstream releases; custom modules are verified separately. Up to 5 broken items are repaired in the £4,999 scope — anything beyond that is quoted at £95 per item before work starts.
