Privacy note
Your input is processed locally in your browser whenever possible. We do not store your data.
Flow
- Tokenize PHP source and validate parseability.
- Apply indentation and spacing rules around blocks and statements.
- Return readable output or parser diagnostics for invalid code.
Example
Worked example: normalize nested array syntax
- 1 Input has compact one-line function and array declarations.
- 2 Formatter expands blocks and aligns indentation by scope.
- 3 Output is easier to scan and annotate.
You get clean, review-ready PHP without manual spacing edits.
How
- Paste PHP code into the input panel.
- Run formatter and inspect normalized structure.
- Copy output back into your editor or pull request.
Cases
- Standardize legacy snippets during refactor work.
- Improve readability of nested arrays and conditional blocks.
- Prepare tutorial or team docs with consistent code style.
Avoid
- Expecting formatter to fix logic bugs, not just syntax layout.
- Formatting incomplete snippets with missing braces/semicolons.
- Mixing template syntax and raw PHP without parser-compatible boundaries.
FAQ
Does php formatter send my input to a server?
No. PHP Formatter handles the input in your browser whenever possible, so routine conversions, previews, and copy actions stay on your device instead of being sent to Calctrove servers.
Will comments be preserved?
Yes. Comments are preserved while whitespace and indentation are normalized.
Can this format invalid PHP?
No. Invalid code returns parser errors so you can fix syntax first.
