Great initiative! 🙌

Two things we should discuss as a team:

• Put it in a dedicated folder under tools/ (e.g. tools/php-code-standards-fixer) so if if we add another one (e.g. for JS), its already structured correctly (to avoid the issue we add with tests).
• Ensure it follows our code standards as described in the wiki or accept that our new coding standard should be PSR-2 or PSR-12.

Extras to check afterwards (did you already take a look?):

• Add something to the iTop / modules projects so it runs automatically on pre-commit on the dev environment.

A nice to have would also be to have this as an action on GitHub pull requests, so contributors (internal and external) would immediately see if te changes are conform the defined coding standards.

I've take a look at the rules described by Symfony. From my POV what you set is already a great start to propose to the team.

The formatting changes on the files in /webservices (why only there?) seem to have changed indentation from tabs to spaces. Please revert.

we will apply code style to whole code base. for now I did it partially to share future effects with the team/community.

The effect is now apparently to change tabs into spaces? That doesn't seem right?

side effect fixed.
