I am looking for a lightweight PHP prettyprint (beautification) tool. In Netbeans, I can Right-click and select Format to format source code. Is there a text editor with the same capability?

Format as in fixing indenting and white space, or do you mean syntax highlighting? – iglvzx Dec 23 '11 at 2:07
is my question is stupid? – eureka Dec 23 '11 at 2:08
@iglvzx I means like right-click Format in NetBeans :) – eureka Dec 23 '11 at 2:08
Could you perhaps explain a bit more as to what your aiming for? – Simon Sheehan Dec 23 '11 at 2:08
@eureka Ah. So, the first definition I gave. Thanks for clarifying. – iglvzx Dec 23 '11 at 2:09

You can use Notepad++'s auto-indenter. It is in TextFX-> TextFX Edit->Reindent C++ code.

Notepad++ cannot tell the difference. Indenting rules are the same. – soandos Dec 23 '11 at 2:42

Many code beautifiers and prettyprint tools are hosted online. These online tools may be the best, as they are operating system independent. For PHP, some examples are PHPFormatter.com and PrettyPrinter.de. If you are looking for a stand-alone application, phpCodeBeautifier is available for both Windows and Linux.
