Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Php Formatter formatting answered

Yes, our PHP formatter is completely free with no registration required. All processing happens in your browser.

Yes, our formatter supports PHP 8.x syntax including match expressions, named arguments, union types, attributes, and constructor property promotion.

The formatter handles PHP code blocks within files. For mixed HTML/PHP templates, it focuses on formatting the PHP portions while preserving HTML structure.

The formatter follows clean PHP conventions that are compatible with popular frameworks. You can customize indentation and brace style to match your team's coding standards.

You can customize indentation, array formatting style, brace placement, spacing around operators, and alignment of assignment blocks to match your preferred PHP coding style.

PSR-12 (extended by PER Coding Style 2.0, the PHP-FIG current recommendation): 4-space indent, one statement per line, opening braces on the same line for control structures and the next line for classes/methods. This matches Laravel Pint's default (laravel) profile and PHP-CS-Fixer's @PSR12 rule set.

Property, parameter, and return types get canonical spacing (function f(int $x): string), with union (int|string) and intersection (Countable&Iterator) types preserved as written. PHP 8 attributes (#[Route('/api')]) each get their own line above the declaration - stacking them inline is legal but unreadable, and PER settled on one-per-line.

Never. Heredoc/nowdoc bodies (<<<SQL ... SQL) keep their exact content and closing-marker indentation - PHP 7.3 relaxed the marker indent rule but the body is literal. Interpolated variables ("{$user->name}") and legacy ($user) syntax stay untouched; the formatter only adjusts the code around strings, never inside them.
