Common questions
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I convert Delphi to PHP?
Paste your Delphi code into the input box, confirm the languages are set to Delphi and PHP, and click Convert. CodeConvert AI analyzes your Delphi code and generates equivalent PHP code in seconds, preserving the original logic and structure.
What are the main differences between Delphi and PHP?
Delphi and PHP differ in syntax, type system, standard libraries, and common idioms, so copying code line for line usually will not compile. The converter maps each Delphi construct to its closest PHP equivalent. See the comparison table below for the key differences between Delphi and PHP.
Is the converted PHP code accurate?
The AI produces high-quality PHP code that preserves the behavior of your original Delphi code and follows PHP conventions. It handles common patterns, data structures, and idioms for both Delphi and PHP. For large or performance-critical code, review and test the PHP output before using it in production.
Can I convert an entire Delphi project to PHP?
