PEAR Coding standards Tips
To follow PEAR coding standards, I recommend you to use the following configuration:
Option State
--space-after-start-bracket -
--space-before-end-bracket -
--space-after-if X
--space-after-switch X
--space-after-while X
--space-before-start-angle-bracket X
--space-after-end-angle-bracket X
--extra-padding-for-case-statement -
--one-true-brace-function-declaration X

--indent-with-tab -
--force-large-php-code-tag X
--force-true-false-null-contant-lowercase X
--align-equal-statements X
--align-equal-statements-to-fixed-pos -
Use 4 for the padding character count to use.

Where options is from the previous topic list and srcFile is the file to beautify. If no srcFile is given, standard input will be used. The transformed text will be outputted to standard output, you can redirect it to a file using the > symbol.
