Tool for cleaning up PHP code - HTML Tidy like

[xio]

Hi,

I have a bunch of files with PHP code. These files were written by
multiple developers with different coding styles and is just so
painful to read them.

Could you recommend any tool I could use to clean up PHP code -
something like "HTML Tidy for PHP"

Thanks,
Xio

I've often dreamed of using something like that on my own code (I've changed my coding style many times over the past few years). I considered making a PHP script to to that, it would not be impossible to do. Maybe you can get one of your developers to make that.

vim does a pretty good job of sorting out whitespace layout but can't help
with deprecated syntax, bad naming, comment density etc.

There is a PHP style checker (apart from PHPlint which is all about
enforcing strict typing) in the PEAR repository called php_codesniffer.
