PHP Code Formatter & Beautifier

PHP Code Formatter & Beautifier: Core Features and Principles

When writing or maintaining PHP projects, you often encounter messy indentation, missing line breaks, or mismatched brackets, which severely impact code readability and maintainability. This tool automatically parses PHP syntax structures to intelligently format and beautify your code. It outputs high-quality code with standard indentation and consistent line breaks while keeping the logic intact, helping you quickly unify your coding style and boost development efficiency.

Why Choose Our PHP Code Formatter?

• Supports multiple code style adjustments, such as indentation width, line break rules, and space alignment, to meet personal and team standards.
• No software installation required. It's a purely online process—just copy, paste, and beautify with one click while protecting your code privacy.
• Preserves original code logic and comments. The formatting process is safe and reliable, and will not change program behavior.

How to Use

1. Paste the PHP code you want to format into the input box.
2. Select your preferred formatting options (e.g., indentation type: Space/Tab, indentation size).
3. Click the "Format" button. The tool will automatically process and output the beautified code on the right or below.
4. You can copy or download the formatted code with one click to use directly in your project.
5. Input example: <?php function test(){echo 'hello';if(true){echo 'world';}} ?>
6. Output example:

   <?php
   function test() {
       echo 'hello';
       if (true) {
           echo 'world';
       }
   }
   ?>

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

• Will formatting change the execution results of my code?
  No. Formatting only adjusts whitespace, line breaks, and indentation. It does not modify any PHP syntax logic, so the code's behavior remains exactly the same.
• Which PHP versions are supported?
  This tool supports syntax parsing for PHP 5.0 and above. It correctly handles modern PHP features like namespaces, anonymous functions, and strict type declarations.

Important Notes

Please ensure that the input PHP code has basic syntax correctness; otherwise, formatting may fail or produce unexpected results. For code containing sensitive information, we recommend processing it locally and deleting records, though this tool does not store any of your code data. When formatting extremely large codebases, it may take longer, so processing in batches is recommended.

Technical Notes & Best Practices

For team collaboration, we recommend standardizing on the PSR-12 or PSR-2 coding standards. This tool defaults to a 4-space indentation, which complies with PSR-2. You can also customize the indentation width or use Tab indentation. Combining code linting with formatting tools can effectively reduce style disputes during code reviews and improve codebase consistency. For example, a common compact input: <?php class A{public function b(){return true;}} ?> will automatically be wrapped and indented, making the structure clear at a glance.
