PhpStorm Code Style 'Space - Within - Brackets' not functioning

I am working on a PHP Laravel project with a team that requires spaces within brackets like this:

 $t = $one[ 0 ];

I attempted to accomplish this by set the following requirement in the Code Style Preference:

enter image description here

The highlights show that spaces should be added within brackets as needed. However, after saving and restarting, I do not get this style applied, no matter how many time I press Ctrl+Alt+L.

Worse still, PhpStorm strips out the spaces that already exist within brackets, which causes a huge headache when I try to auto format existing code.

So this:

Is reformatted and becomes this:

I've set up other custom code style setting, and the other custom setting are getting applied.

Could someone offer some help with fixing this style problem?

Solution

  • That option works just fine. It is for accessing individual array elements (e.g. $t = $one[ 0 ];).

    But on your screenshots, where it does not work... it's array initializer (in other words, $var = array('aaa', 'bbb');)... and for that you need to use appropriate option -- "Array initializer parentheses" (which is just a bit below of what you have tried above).
