How does the PHP Formatter work?

Once Prettier and the PHP plugin load in the browser, your code is parsed into an AST that understands namespaces, use statements, classes, interfaces, and traits.

The formatter then applies indentation, spacing, and quote preferences so complex code paths become readable blocks that are easy to review.

What is PHP and why format it?

PHP is a widely used server-side language for dynamic applications and APIs. Large teams often share the same codebase, increasing the risk of style drift.

Consistent formatting prevents style disagreements, accelerates code reviews, and keeps technical debt under control across long-lived projects.

Professional use cases

Use the formatter in Laravel, Symfony, or WordPress pipelines to keep contributions consistent before committing.

Polish code samples for documentation, training, or client deliverables so every snippet reflects your engineering standards.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why does the tool run in the browser?

Prettier's PHP plugin ships as WebAssembly, making the browser the fastest place to execute it. The bundle stays out of your server build so SSR remains lightweight.

Can I tailor the output beyond PSR-12?

Adjust line width, tab width, tabs, and quote preferences to mimic your existing Prettier or coding standards. Share the same settings with Prettier CLI for full automation.
