What PHP Beautifier does
The PHP Beautifier on CodeBeautify formats raw PHP code into a structured, readable layout. Users paste unformatted script into the input area, and the tool automatically applies standard formatting rules, including proper indentation, consistent spacing, and standardized brace placement. The result preserves the original functionality while making complex logic easier to parse and maintain. The output can be downloaded or shared via a generated link, and the tool supports formatting pure PHP framework files such as Laravel, CodeIgniter, YII, CakePHP, and Symfony. It also includes a PHP Formatter function that can load code by URL or file upload, allowing beautification of single files at a time.
