Are there any recommended tools or methods for efficiently updating multiple PHP scripts to comply with modern PHP standards?

Updating multiple PHP scripts to comply with modern PHP standards can be a daunting task. One recommended approach is to use automated tools like PHP CodeSniffer or PHP CS Fixer to identify and fix coding standards violations. These tools can help ensure that your code follows best practices, such as using namespaces, type hinting, and following PSR coding standards.

// Example of using PHP CodeSniffer to fix coding standards violations
// Install PHP CodeSniffer globally using Composer: composer global require squizlabs/php_codesniffer
// Run the following command in the terminal to fix coding standards violations in a PHP script: phpcs --standard=PSR2 --colors --fix path/to/your/script.php
