Where can I find a PHP editor with text format that actually works?

Question

I'm using TextWrangler and I can't find a good code formatter. I tried TextMate and it ruined my code completely.

I don't care about anything else other than a button that formats the text. From this:

function hello() {

if ($statement) {

die();

}

}

To this:

function hello() {

    if ($statement) {

        die();

    }

}

Without having to press "Tab" 4 times.

I don't use auto-formatters, but I think NetBeans does a good job. Depends if you are OK with a relatively heavy-weight IDE. — halfer, May 18 '15 at 20:09
I think what you are looking for is an IDE, I use and recommend PhpStorm by JetBrains — Dimitri Acosta, May 18 '15 at 20:10
Takes more time to format text, instead of writing it. NOT KIDDING! — Vulkan, May 18 '15 at 20:10

First of all, Your question is opinion based, so there is not a real answer.

But, if you want a text editor then use Sublime Text.

It's very powerful. and very customizeable.

After you've installed it, you can create a shortcut to indent your code.

The link is here.

*"Your question is opinion based"* - Yes and no, it's about asking for software, which is what the question was closed as. – Funk Forty Niner May 18 '15 at 20:15
*"This is not a matter of opinion. If you don't use text format and instead you write code the same way you would eat a sandwich, you are retarded. – user3737190 5 secs ago"* - sure hope that wasn't aimed at me ;-) @user3737190 edit as per your edit: *"f**king Tab button over and over and over again"* - oh, how lovely. – Funk Forty Niner May 18 '15 at 20:23

@user3737190: for "retarded", have a downvote and a moderator report. We don't use that sort of discriminatory language here. – halfer May 18 '15 at 20:23
