Convert php arrays with the new syntax

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.
