Answer 6

Update your IDE with the latest PDT version for better code formatting. On the main menu click Help -> Install New Software and then add the following URL in the Work with field:

http://download.eclipse.org/tools/pdt/updates/4.0.1 

When asked for the name, give it PDT4.0.1 and then move along with the update or install.

It will see if the appropriate PDT is already installed or if it is a lower version, which then would be updated.

After restarting or applying the changes go to Windows -> Preferences on the side bar and expand PHP -> Code Style. Here you will see an item named Formatter. Select it and choose the active profile for the code formating. Thats it.

The next time you format it, it will choose a format according to the chosen active profile.

Hope it helps.
