Migrating CI3 to CI4

Hi,

I am running a CI site with version 3.0.4 and MySQL 5.5 - SSD.

Currently exploring options to update the entire site to CI 4.0.4 to allow us to run PHP 7.2 and MySQL 8.0 (if possible).

We have a pretty clean installation which can be provided. There is no need for design changes.

Additionally used are: jQuery 1.1.12 Bootstrap 3.3.6 DataTables 1.10.10 FontAwesome 4.0.5 TinyMCE 4.3.7 Fileinput 4.2.7

Scope of work:

1) Move CI to Version 4 while ensuring all components/features are retained

2) Update/test and optimise any JS that should needs updating

Bonus: 3) if possible change payment gateway from standard PayPal to PayPal Plus (Germany), no storage of payments in DB required. Simple processing only.

The project is not urgent. Feel free to quote or ask questions if you are interested, will provide website if you message me. Budget depends on quote.

Just so you know, you can also upgrade your CI 3.0.4 to 3.1.11. It is compatible with PHP 7.
I maintain an application that run without problems on PHP 7.3.

Thanks for the tip! This seems indeed to be more of a viable solution. For standard application I wont run into issues with MySQL 8? Currently running 5.5. with mysqli as dbdriver.

Upgrading to 3.1.11 seems like a walk in the park if the system folder has not been touched. I only have to two customised files there and we dont use any of the functions mentioned in the upgrade path. Do you go straight to 3.1.11 or do I go step by step?

I don’t know about MySQL 8. The CI3 web apps I maintain on PHP7 uses Oracle.

For upgrading, I recommend reading the instructions from one version to the other, but just copy the system folder at the end from the 3.1.11 version.

thanks I will do that. already checked through and could not find anything. will create a clone for my setup to try out. could not find anything that would affect me - none of the functions mentioned in the upgrade path are used on my site.

Perfect, then it will be super easy!
