Are there any existing solutions or tools that can automate the process of updating PHP scripts and files across multiple servers?

Updating PHP scripts and files across multiple servers can be a time-consuming and error-prone task if done manually. One solution to automate this process is to use a version control system like Git along with a deployment tool like Capistrano or Ansible. These tools allow you to easily push changes to multiple servers simultaneously, ensuring consistency and efficiency in updating PHP scripts. 

<?php
// Sample PHP script using Capistrano for deploying changes to multiple servers

namespace Deployer;

require 'recipe/common.php';

// Define your server configurations here
inventory('servers.yml');

// Specify the tasks to run for deployment
task('deploy', [
    'deploy:prepare',
    'deploy:lock',
    'deploy:release',
    'deploy:update_code',
    'deploy:shared',
    'deploy:writable',
    'deploy:vendors',
    'deploy:clear_paths',
    'deploy:symlink',
    'deploy:unlock',
    'cleanup',
])->desc('Deploy your project');

// Set the default server to deploy to
set('default_stage', 'production');

// Run the deployment tasks on the specified servers
after('deploy', 'success');
after('deploy:failed', 'deploy:unlock');
