How we migrated our legacy PHP app to Laravel in a progressive mannerCategory: Laravel, PHP
We have been tasked with migrating 7 years old big monolith MVC PHP app to Laravel. The client wanted to stay the app with PHP ecosystem since their team is comfortable with PHP. We considered Yii2 but decided to go with Laravel because there’s a conflict of interest in maintaining the Yii2 codebase within the core authors itself.
We decided to go with the last approach mentioned above because it required less code & configuration change, allows the legacy app to function as normal, and provides a space for Laravel to develop new features or rewrite parts of them.
Session values are available in $_SESSION.Hence, we are creating a custom session guard in Laravel to read session details you can also secure session data via secret signing technique app/Http/Middleware/Authenticate.php
