Are there any free cmd-line scripts which can re-format PHP source-code?

I’ve been evaluating several coding standards fixers to run on our code. This is to perform some auto-fixing on legacy code which uses deprecated things like perl-style comments.

The most useful fixer I have used so far is php-tidy which is found here: http://phptidy.berlios.de/

This tries to conform to the PEAR standard, which is almost exactly what I need, except that I want non-hanging braces for control structures.

Can anyone point me a (linux-based) command-line tool that can apply a fixer to use the ANSI style of braces?:

function nice_brace()
{
    if (isset($nicebrace))
    {
        // I like non-hanging braces
    }
}

Rather than the PEAR/Zend style:

function ugly_brace() {
    if (isset($ugly_brace)) {
        // I find this code harder to read
    }
}

Edit: For others looking for something similar, check this script out: https://raw.github.com/gist/366837/25713637b6f2f9e1ec63abf3233142765df4b931/phpbb-reformat.pl

Many thanks
