Cakephp 2.4 on PHP 7.3

We have an application built and running on CakePHP V2.4. This is running on PHP V5.6. We would like to get this running on PHP V7.3.
Can you advise on how to do this and your experience with such a change.

Cakephp 2.4 doesn't support PHP 7. As per Cakephp 2 requirements:

PHP 5.3.0 or greater (CakePHP version 2.6 and below support PHP 5.2.8 and above). CakePHP version 2.8.0 and above support PHP 7. To use PHP above 7.1 you may need to install mcrypt via PECL. See Security for more information.

So if you want to use PHP 7 then you have to use Cakephp 2.8 or greater version. Cakephp -> Installation -> Requirements

You will need to upgrade your application to at least Cake 2.10. I believe that's compatible with PHP 7.2, anyway; not sure about 7.3. Migration guides for the various point releases are here.
