PHP CS Fixer is a command-line tool that detects and automatically fixes PHP coding standards issues. It ships with built-in rule sets (PER-CS, Symfony, PhpCsFixer, auto-migration sets) and supports custom team configurations.

Use cases

• automatically fix php coding standards issues
• enforce per-cs or symfony coding style in a php project
• check code style in ci pipeline
• modernize php codebase to newer php syntax
• format php code consistently across a team
• replace manual lint fixing on large php projects

When to choose

• you maintain a PHP project and want automated, opinionated code style fixing
• you need CI integration for style checks (GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Docker)
• you want to migrate code style toward newer PHP or PHPUnit conventions

When to avoid

• your project is not written in PHP
• you only need style detection without fixing and prefer a lightweight linter
• you need formatting for other languages - use language-specific formatters instead
