My experience (15 years with PHP now) and recent research indicates that 
GNU Style is unheard of in the greater PHP developer community.

PHP coding styles include, in no particular order, and not exhaustive:

- PEAR and PEAR2 Coding Standards
  <http://pear.php.net/manual/en/coding-standards.php>

- PHP Standard Recommendations PSR-1, PSR-2, and PSR-4 (deprecates PSR-0)
  <https://github.com/php-fig/fig-standards/tree/master/accepted>

- Symfony Coding Standards (“follows the standards defined in the PSR-0, 
  PSR-1 and PSR-2 documents”)
  <http://symfony.com/doc/current/contributing/code/standards.html>

- Drupal Coding Standards (“loosely based on the PEAR Coding Standards”)
  <https://www.drupal.org/coding-standards>

- WordPress PHP Coding Standards (“similar to Pear standards in many ways,
  but differ in some key respects”)
  <https://make.wordpress.org/core/handbook/coding-standards/php/>

- Zend Framework Coding Standard for PHP:
  currently <http://framework.zend.com/manual/1.12/en/coding-standard.html>
  (no Coding Standard has been published for ZF2 yet, so we can assume that
  also applies for ZF2 code)

- Moodle Coding Style
  <https://docs.moodle.org/dev/Coding_style>

I could live with GNU Style¹ if it would not make it so hard to tell 
function/method calls apart.  (I prefer Allman style [ibd.] except for 
expressions, and I have started to insert the space before parameter lists 
in declarations, to tell them apart from calls.)

Please trim your quotes to the relevant minimum.  In particular, full quotes 
are not acceptable.  <https://www.netmeister.org/news/learn2quote.html>
