PHP Formatter by Spark Labs
Spark Labs has created a PHP beautifier tool that allows you to customize the code formatting however you like. In its “style” section you can change the indentation style as well as other advanced settings.
Currently, it only supports versions 4 and 5 of PHP, but there is a great chance that the developers will update its engine to support newer versions of PHP.
This online tool is so fast that it only takes a fraction of a second to format any PHP code. You can view the output right on your web browser screen but you can also download it in a .php file.
