Without going through all of the replies yet, I'd like to recommend 
standing on some giant's shoulders with this and I mean using a standard 
that's maintained by a bigger body (this is always going to be in 
movement and requires attention) and has a well-maintained 
IDE-integration implementation available for fully automated checking 
and processing.

WordPress-based example:

https://github.com/WordPress-Coding-Standards/WordPress-Coding-Standards/

which works on top of more generic PHP tokenizer system 
https://github.com/squizlabs/PHP_CodeSniffer/

I'm definitely never looking back towards anything weaker.
