Convert php arrays with the new syntax - php

Question

I looking for a way (regex, snippet ,plugin etc) to convert the old arrays with the new php syntax with sublimeText.
// Old synthax
$var = array(
'foo' => 'bar'
);
// New synthax
$var = [
'foo' => 'bar'
];
someone has an idea ?

Answer 1

I found a script that does the job perfectly !

Answer 2

I found out that it is also possible to do this with the php codesniffer: https://github.com/squizlabs/PHP_CodeSniffer
phpcbf src/ --standard=Generic --sniffs=Generic.Arrays.DisallowLongArraySyntax
In this example you have to replace src/ with the folder containing the scripts. Alternatively you can provide a file name.

Answer 3

Maybe a bit late, but I created my own. Maybe not pretty, but it does do the job I want. If you do not like tab, change \t in indent function to 2 or 4 spaces.
function loopArray(array $array, $loopcount = 0) {
$returnString = ($loopcount == 0) ? "[\n" : "";
$tabKey = indent($loopcount + 2);
$tabValue = indent($loopcount + 3);
$lastKey = array_key_last($array);
foreach ($array as $key => $value) {
$totalChildren = count($array[$key]);
$returnString .= $tabKey . '"' . $key . '" => ';
if ($totalChildren == 0) $returnString .= '[]';
if ($totalChildren > 0 && is_array($array[$key])) $returnString .= '[' . "\n";
if (is_array($value)) {
$returnString .= loopArray($value, $loopcount + 1);
} else {
if ($totalChildren == 1) $returnString .= '"' . $value . '"';
if ($totalChildren > 1) $returnString .= $tabValue . '"' . $value . '"' . ",\n";
}
$returnString .= ($lastKey == $key) ? "\n" . indent($loopcount+1) . "]" : ",\n";
}
return $returnString;
}
function indent($amount) {
return str_repeat("\t", $amount);
}
/** use function below only prior to php 7.3 */
function array_key_last(array $array) {
$key = NULL;
if ( is_array( $array ) ) {
end( $array );
$key = key( $array );
}
return $key;
}
