What are the potential pitfalls of uploading PHP code to a server that results in the entire source code being written in a single line?

When uploading PHP code to a server, a potential pitfall is that the entire source code may be written in a single line, making it difficult to read and debug. To solve this issue, you can use a PHP beautifier tool to format the code properly with indentation and line breaks. 

// Example PHP code snippet using PHP beautifier tool to format the code
$code = "<?php echo 'Hello, World!';"; // PHP code in a single line
$beautified_code = php_beautifier($code); // Format the code
echo $beautified_code; // Output the formatted code

function php_beautifier($code) {
    $beautified_code = '';
    $tokens = token_get_all($code);
    
    foreach ($tokens as $token) {
        if (is_array($token)) {
            $beautified_code .= $token[1];
        } else {
            $beautified_code .= $token;
        }
    }
    
    return $beautified_code;
}
