How do I use php_beautifier with PEAR Code Standards?

Solution

You have to use PHP_Beautifier_Filter_Pear instead of the default filter.

$oBeaut->addFilter('Pear',array('add_header'=>'php'));

Or from CLI

$ php_beautifier --filters "Pear(add_header=php)"

The PEAR filter will

• Add 2 newlines after Break in switch statements. Break indent is the same of previous line
• Brace in function definition put on a new line, same indent of 'function' construct
• Comments started with '#' are replaced with '//'
• Open tags are replaced with <?php
• T_OPEN_TAG_WITH_ECHO replaced with <?php echo
• With setting 'add_header', the filter add one of the standard PEAR comment header (php, bsd, apache, lgpl, pear) or any file as licence header.
