I recently added a syntax checker for PHP to BBEdit, which is great, but the next thing I'd like is a script or plugin that takes the PHP code and applies indentation. In other words, if I run the script on the text:

if ($var) {
echo "hello world";
if ($var2) {
echo "goodbye world";
}
}

It will automatically reformat as:

if ($var) {
echo "hello world";
      if ($var2) {
      echo "goodbye world";
      }
}

I realize I can use "balance" and do it manually, but there must be an automatic method. Thanks.

Sorry I don't have an answer to your question, but can I ask what syntax checker you're using? I would love to have something like that...

I'm still getting used to the balance and shift right method in BBEdit, because it doesn't indent the way I usually do it. I don't want to have to write an AppleScript for this but I can't seem to find one anywhere.
Anyway, copy the syntax checking script on this page. Paste it into an AppleScript and save it inside your BBEdit scripts directory:

It acctually works very well. It pops up the error and then highlights the line with the problem code. Oh, and you must have the command line PHP installed.

I would love to do this, but I still only have BBEdit 6.1. I just need to update, but haven't. I'm a slacker. Anyway, look for Javascript Style perl script indentation, (that would probably be your best bet) and throw that in your unix scripts folder in BBEdit Support.
