How to circumvent PSR-2?

Question

When Laravel 5.1 is upon us, PSR-2 will be enforced.

I'm a big fan of PHP-FIG, unfortunately for me I got really used to and comfortable with control structures in a new line.

Consider this current piece of code, already adhering to PSR-2:

foreach($items as $item) {
    Cart::update($item, Input::get('qty_' .$item));
}

I understand the following is not PSR-2:

foreach($items as $item)
{
    Cart::update($item, Input::get('qty_' .$item));
}

But, how about these variations?

foreach($items as $item) Cart::update($item, Input::get('qty_' .$item));


foreach($items as $item)

    Cart::update($item, Input::get('qty_' .$item));


foreach($items as $item):

    Cart::update($item, Input::get('qty_' .$item));

endforeach;

As you can see, I got addicted to the white space resulting from the lead curly brace when going into a new line.

Can any of the variations mentioned be considered properly PSR-2?

No, none of those variations are PSR-2 compliant either. A control structure needs to have braces and there should be a space following the control structure name. These rules are defined rather explicitly here:

Control Structure Guidelines

There MUST be one space after the control structure keyword

There MUST NOT be a space after the opening parenthesis

There MUST NOT be a space before the closing parenthesis

There MUST be one space between the closing parenthesis and the opening brace

The structure body MUST be indented once

The closing brace MUST be on the next line after the body
