So no matter what was actually typed, *I* would see:
function foo ($x) {
//body
}
but some heretic who doesn't know any better would see:
function foo($x)
{
//body
}
Now *THAT* would be a feature worth paying for in an IDE! :-)
Without caring what style you prefer, the correct reply to this request
is the following:
You seek a Code Beautifier for PHP.
I have found that only some IDE/Editor software contains such a beast.
The convention for most software code editing tools is to have Shift +
Ctrl + F do code formatting. I use PHP Eclipse to handle all my code
formatting. It will allow you to choose your preference for braces up
or down etc.
However...you may need to make a policy in your company. If you use
source control for your software, it may see changes in formatting as a
distinct major revision. Therefore, if you save code in "your" style
and another developer opens the file and resaves in "his style", then
you'll unnecessarily make version control a nightmare. Despite personal
preference, you MUST adhere to the style of the project. If you are the
sole developer, you define that style. If you are a coding monkey, then
you may have to suffer with the style that the architect before you
declared.
I can't work unless the code is formatted to my liking. I'm the OCD
type of programmer. Luckily I'm also in control of coding standards
within my company, whew! Get PHP Eclipse and do a general search for
PHP Code Beautifier then download some you like and try them out.
Beautiful code often contains fewer bugs.
