Q&A

Q: How to use phpfmt.php_bin with spaces such as C:\Program Files\php\php.exe ?
A: Wrap your path with quotes like:

{
  "phpfmt.php_bin": "\"C:\\Program Files\\php\\php.exe\""
}

It is recommended to add the directory of the php.exe to the PATH environment variable on Windows.
If it still not working, refer to #1 and Stack Overflow Related.

Q: How use tabs instead of spaces with PSR2 enabled ?
A: For PSR2, code MUST use 4 spaces for indenting, not tabs. But if you like PSR2, and do not like 4 spaces for indentation, add following configuration:

{
  "phpfmt.passes": [
    "PSR2KeywordsLowerCase",
    "PSR2LnAfterNamespace",
    "PSR2CurlyOpenNextLine",
    "PSR2ModifierVisibilityStaticOrder",
    "PSR2SingleEmptyLineAndStripClosingTag",
    "ReindentSwitchBlocks"
  ],
  "phpfmt.exclude": [
    "ReindentComments",
    "StripNewlineWithinClassBody"
  ],
  "phpfmt.psr2": false
}

Q: Is fmt.phar (phpfmt itself) still maintained ?
~~A: Since phpfmt has no maintainers, only Serious bugs will be fixed.~~
A: We now use fmt.stub.php from driade's phpfmt8 which is very updated.
