PhpStorm array indentation 8 spaces in stead of 4

Question

The code style in PhpStorm has been doing strange things to my array indentation. When creating a new array in a normal way

$array = [|] // The | marks my cursor

Then I press enter

$array = [
        | // My cursor starts all the way there
]

When I reformat my code using CMD+ALT+K, the indentation is reset.

$array = [
    | // To here
]

This happens in every file in my project. I have checked my code style preferences, I have set them to PSR1/PSR2 standard, and have checked every single option that has something to do with indentation/arrays.

This only happens to arrays, not to function declarations, class declarations and control structures.

Is anyone familiar with this problem and if so, is there a solution?

@Niek What do you mean, exactly? I have checked all code style PHP settings, but I can't find anything that would cause this behaviour. — Connor

Settings->CodeStyle->PHP->Tabes and Indent There are schemes for default and project check them all. — JustOnUnderMillions

If your file has mixed PHP/HTML content, check your HTML continuation indent under Editor -> Code Style -> HTML -> Tabs and Indents.

Unlike with PHP, it defaults to 8 instead of 4. Change continuation indent to 4, then it will be alright. I changed mine to 4 and now my array declarations look right.

Try this:

1.Go to Preferences -> Code Style -> PHP -> Set from... -> Predefined Style -> allows you to set your code style guidelines to the styles such as PSR-2 and Zend.

2.Go to Code -> Reformat Code -> This option will format all of your code to the code style you set. We recently converted our codebase of around 300,000 lines to the PSR-2 standard. It was done in less than 5 minutes.

Hope this helps. :)

Thanks for the tip. I have reformatted all code in my project, with PSR-2 standards enabled. The problem still persists though, in some files arrays just indent with 8 spaces. If I then reformat the code, it returns to a 4-space indentation. But a new array will be indented with 8 spaces again.

Sorry to hear that, Connor.

This option is located here:

Settings -> Editor -> Code Style -> PHP

Option name:

Continuation indent:

And change from 8 to 4.

In case you face the same problem. Make sure to disable your .editorconfig rules as those might conflict with your Predefined Style rules. At Editor > Code Style > EditorConfig, scroll at the bottom and uncheck Enable EditorConfig support.
