XAMPP PHP 8 Launch Diagnosis
Budget: €250 – €750 EUR
I’m trying to get a legacy PHP application up and running on my local machine, but every launch attempt collapses with a Syntax error as soon as the server starts. After some significant recent changes—most notably migrating the project to PHP 8—the whole thing refuses to initialise.
I’d like you to install the project in your own XAMPP environment, spin it up, and tell me whether the same behaviour occurs. If it boots cleanly for you, please outline what differs between our setups; if the error repeats, I’d appreciate a concise report pinpointing the failure and any quick fixes you spot.
You’ll get a ZIP of the full codebase the moment we start. A short screen-recording or annotated log of your local test run would make validation simple, and any notes on PHP-8 compatibility issues you uncover will be a big help.
Should your diagnosis save the day, I’m keen to discuss an ongoing collaboration for future maintenance and feature work.
