HTML/PHP Formatter

The HTML/PHP Formatter Online accepts raw HTML and PHP code and returns a consistently formatted version suitable for review, collaboration, and production deployment. It standardizes indentation, line breaks, attribute spacing, and tag alignment to ensure cross-project readability. The formatter preserves comments, inline PHP blocks, and CDATA where present, while normalizing whitespace and reducing variation caused by different editors. This helps teams enforce a single style across repositories, simplifies code reviews, and lowers cognitive load when scanning large templates or legacy files. The output is code-centric, focusing on structure rather than UI.
Conceptually, the tool tokenizes input, applies style presets, and rewrites the source with deterministic whitespace and layout rules. It supports PHP PSR-12 and HTML5 conventions by default, but can be configured for common CMS patterns. It preserves comments, multiline attributes, and embedded PHP blocks while removing unnecessary gaps. It operates as a non-executable formatter, so it does not run the code but reorganizes it to improve consistency, diffability, and maintainability. It is designed to be robust against nested structures and mixed-language fragments often found in templates.
Audience and differentiation: developers, freelancers, and teams working on PHP/HTML projects who need consistent formatting across large codebases. Unique value includes language-aware formatting, preservation of inline code, and quick export-ready output suitable for diffs and code reviews. It is intended for batch use in CI pipelines or local development, offering predictable results regardless of editor or operating system. By focusing on domain logic rather than UI, it delivers reliable formatting across diverse projects and mitigates formatting disputes during collaboration.
