* Package name : phptidy Version : 2.10 Upstream Author : Magnus Rosenbaum <phpt...@cmr.cx> * URL : http://developer.berlios.de/projects/phptidy/ * License : GPL Programming Lang: PHP Description : Beautifier for PHP code This is a little tool for formatting PHP code. It aims to make the code better readable and thus better understandable. Unlike other beautifiers, phptidy does not completely reformat the code and remove formatting, which was intended by the author. It only touches things which are usually not intended. In case of doubt, phptidy will not touch anything. Because of this strategy it is also very unlikely, that phptidy by fault changes the functionality of the code. phptidy is useful in many situations: - You can use it on your own code during development to keep the code tidy, wasting no time on indenting and formatting by hand. - In a project with more than one person coding you have less trouble with people who do not confirm to the style guide. - If you use a version control system you can require all participating people to run phptidy before committing changes. Then you won't have anymore trouble with unintended changes due to code formatting or with the trailing whitespace or wrong line breaks of some brain dead editors (or their users). - If you have to maintain some ultimately ugly code of someone else. After running phptidy the code will be much better readable. Well, the code will not be perfect, but it's a big help anyway. The used coding standard is mainly inspired by the PEAR Coding Standards: http://pear.php.net/manual/en/standards.php phptidy is released under the GPL and can be used for free. [Yes, there already is a similarly named php5-tidy package here in Debian (but which tidies HTML.)
