About This Tool
Legacy PHP modules, WordPress snippets, and Laravel blades pasted into tickets benefit from consistent PSR-12 indent before review — but browser formatters need AST awareness for <?php tags and mixed HTML. VSPIC php-formatter maps to generic-text client kind without dedicated PHP parser formatting on this slug.
Transform passthrough returns input unchanged. Use php-cs-fixer, PHPStorm format, or phpcbf in your project. This page documents honest workspace behavior for PHP format SEO.
Common use cases

Why use VSPIC for ?
- Honest passthrough documentation.
- Local staging without server upload.
- Copy-friendly shell for tickets.
- Pairs with regex-tester for pattern tests.
- Free browser workspace.
- Client-side unreleased snippet control.
PHP formatting expectations
php-cs-fixer applies PSR-12 and custom rulesets in CI. generic-text slug is workspace until PHP formatter proxy ships.
generic-text passthrough
php-formatter lacks transformText substring matches.
Mixed PHP and HTML
Blade and plain PHP-HTML templates need formatter aware of alternate syntax — IDE tools handle better than naive indent.
Relationship to python-formatter
Sibling language slugs share passthrough pattern — use language-native formatters.
Security of pasted PHP
Never execute pasted PHP from untrusted sources. Formatting workspace does not run code.
Client-side privacy
Unreleased CMS plugin code stays in browser.
Future PHP formatter proxy
Registry may add php-cs-fixer wasm or API with privacy policy.
WordPress snippet review
Format functions.php hunks in IDE before commit — browser for quick paste staging.
Short open tags
<? versus <?php — formatter rules depend on project standard.
Important notes & limitations
- No PHP AST beautify on slug.
- generic-text passthrough only.
- Mixed PHP-HTML needs specialized formatters.
- Does not lint or run PHP.
- Short tags depend on project php.ini policy.
