Upgrade project from php 7.3 to PHP 7.4. afterwords upgrade to PHP 8.0.

[Morpheus-ro]

Hello everybody,

I am new into using Rector and I want to get my project upgraded to the latest PHP version. Current version is PHP 7.3.
Currently I have this rector.php config file and I just want to be sure that this is correct:

return RectorConfig::configure() ->withPaths([ __DIR__ . '/application', __DIR__ . '/model' ]) // uncomment to reach your current PHP version ->withPhpSets( false, false, false, false, false, true ) ->withTypeCoverageLevel(0);

my goal here is to get to PHP 7.4 and then to PHP 8.0 and so on.
Any ideas, suggestions over the config and over all?

If you still on php 7.x, you can use LevelSetList instead:

use Rector\Config\RectorConfig;
use Rector\Set\ValueObject\LevelSetList;

return RectorConfig::configure() 
    ->withPaths([ __DIR__ . '/application', __DIR__ . '/model' ]) 
    ->withSets([
          LevelSetList::UP_TO_PHP_53
     ]);

start with lower php 5.3 to see the change per level :)

in my case, another colleague did this several years ago so we are now at php 7.3 so we just need to upgrade the version to php 8.3 at the end.

Thank you for you reply and have a nice day :)
