PHP Formatter

Format and beautify PHP code with consistent indentation, entirely in your browser.

Paste your PHP code below - this tool reformats it with consistent, readable indentation.

For array/data conversion between PHP and JSON, see the PHP Array to JSON and JSON to PHP Array tools.

What Does This Tool Do?

It re-indents PHP source code with consistent brace placement and spacing, making inconsistently-formatted or minified PHP readable again.

Why Use This Tool?

Code merged from multiple sources, or copy-pasted from documentation with inconsistent formatting, is much easier to review and debug once consistently indented.

How to Use It

  1. Paste your PHP code (with or without the opening <?php tag).
  2. Click Format.
  3. Copy the reformatted code.

Limitations

This handles common PHP syntax formatting - it does not execute your code, so it can only catch structural/syntax issues that prevent parsing, not runtime logic errors.
