Paste your PHP code into the input box, confirm the languages are set to PHP and Go, and click Convert. CodeConvert AI analyzes your PHP code and generates equivalent Go code in seconds, preserving the original logic and structure.
What are the main differences between PHP and Go?
PHP and Go differ in syntax, type system, standard libraries, and common idioms, so copying code line for line usually will not compile. The converter maps each PHP construct to its closest Go equivalent. See the comparison table below for the key differences between PHP and Go.
Is the converted Go code accurate?
