im just soliciting opinions/advices. Like we have this really large PHP code base, by large these are what i meant:
over 500 tables over 4000 files - action, displays & templates. over 1,000,000 lines of code - this software spans more than 8 years already.
So many deprecated, duplicated code all over the place, and so many hacks.
I want to be able to still run the software, while parts of it are being migrated to rails.
So it will be running in hybrid mode, that is, both PHP and rails at the same time. Parts of the software that hav been migrated already, will start using the Rails version.
I suppose my idea is:
- migrate to Git
- I suppose all the more than 500 tables remain.
- Find a way so PHP and rails will interoperate?
- Chew one display & management screen at a time?
- Work on the front end?
