Emacs auto-formatting php code (on indent)

Question

I'm looking for a way to format the spaces between symbols and keywords in emacs.

For example I'd like to change the following php code :

foreach($a as $b) {
}

into

foreach ($a as $b) {
}

All I've been able to find thus far are external tools to run from emacs.

I'd prefer that it did the formatting on indent, is this possible?

Indeed, I don't know of any such tool within Emacs. I'd be happy to accept submission for a package that does something like that on the fly. Maybe it could work a bit like electric-layout-mode?

Interesting, I'll look into electric-layout-mode and see if it can be used/repurposed for what I need, I'll post back with my findings.

Actually, in the mean time, I bumped into smart-operator which does something similar, tho not for parentheses but for infix operators.
