I've downloaded a lot of projected lately (to get some coding ideas), only to find the source code for the application to be a bit, well - let's say "hard to read". More and more people are less and less worried about how their code looks, versus how it works. They think that as long as it works, then that's good enough. Well, trust me - clean code makes all the difference, and this application can help.
The "Code Beautifier" offers support for PHP (of course), and can take your current "less than perfect" code, and clean it up to make it easier to read and simpler to modify in the future. Cleaner code is easier to look through and find bugs in, as well as easier for someone else to look at and see where the problem might lie. (And, to go along with this, well thought out code can help a lot too!).
All in all, it's not a bad little tool, but is a bit of a crutch for those out there making bad code and not abusing their tab button as much as they should...
Thanks to PHPKitchen for the link.
