PHP/HTML beautifier that really does a good job?

Hi!

Does it exist a PHP/HTML beautifier that really does a good job?

I have tried them all (polystyle,...)

Thank you

Weedpacket

I write beautifully to start with. Makes debugging easier.

Lately, I've been beautifying my php/html with little bitmapped images of birdies, fishies, twigs, flowers and the like. Really...

Have a look at HTML Tidy... it'll tidy up your HTML a treat

I agree with weedpacket, just write it clean in the first place. It is not that much work.

In fairness to aqw's question, even the best coders inadvertently add a space here, or a tab there... There's nothing wrong with using a tidier as a backup to good coding practices.

Well, I do use tidy to strip out all the extraneous whitespace in my HTML, and to make sure I've got all the /> in empty tags in place. And check other things like that.

I've also got a wee script that I use to strip all trailing whitespace off all lines in a text file.

What I need is a PHP beautifier. Something to take all the crappy code I wrote when I was a rank newb, and change it to the awful stuff that I write now that's so much better.

$sql = "SELECT * FROM foobar";
$result = mysql_query($sql);
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result))
{
	if($row['thingy']=='1')
	{
		$womble = $womble+1;
	}
}

// ==>

$womble = mysql_result(mysql_query("select count(*) from foobar where thingy=1"),0);
