What are the best practices for synchronizing PHP files across multiple servers to ensure they stay up-to-date?

To ensure PHP files stay up-to-date across multiple servers, it is best to use a version control system like Git to manage the codebase. By pushing changes to a central repository and pulling them down to each server, you can easily synchronize the files. Additionally, using a deployment tool like Capistrano or Jenkins can automate the process and ensure consistency across servers.

// Example PHP code for pulling changes from a Git repository on each server

// Change directory to where the PHP files are located
chdir('/path/to/php/files');

// Pull changes from the Git repository
exec('git pull origin master');
