Sorry, I just don’t understand how to execute the auto indent in a file.
I’m mostly using PHP.
I checked “Auto indent”.
I set begin indent to {
I set end indent to }
I set end of statement to ;

But there’s no change in my php file. I guess there’s a button/menu option to execute it?

I just don’t know how to execute the auto indentation.

For reference, in Eclipse you mark all text you want to auto-indent and press Ctrl-alt-f, and it does the job for you. I’m guessing this is a similar feature.

EmEditor cannot automatically format just by entering this information in the Tab/Indent dialog box. EmEditor will indent while you type, but not after you have finished typing. For your purpose, you will need an external tool to do formatting.
