Those problems are not related to PHP but to inexperienced developers. Refactoring such code is always a pain. So unless there is nice money involved: don't refactor, just fix what's broken. I don't think refactoring of spaghetti can be automated. But there are other tools that can help you to find bad code. Some that come in mind: https://github.com/fabpot/PHP-CS-Fixer http://pear.php.net/package/PHP_CodeSniffer/redirected Those tools are used for coding standards (PSR-x), but those standards are also helpful to track down bad code.
