Ask Slashdot: What's the Best Way to Transfer Legacy PHP Code to a Modern Framework?

Slashdot reader rzack writes:
Since 1999, I've written a huge amount of PHP code, for dozens of applications and websites. Most of it has been continually updated, and remains active and in-production, in one form or another.

Here's the thing. It's all hand-written using vi, even to this day.

Is there any benefit to migrating this codebase to a more modern PHP framework, like Laravel? And is there an easy and minimally intrusive way this can be done en-masse, across dozens of applications and websites?

Or at this point should I just stick with vi?
