PHPCBF now has command line args to change its behaviour

--suffix=[suffix] will output a fixed version of each file with a filename suffix. Leaving this empty will overrite the file.

--no-patch will replace files with PHP instead of the patch command. This is useful if you are on a platform that doesn't support diff and patch.
