Formatting PHP/js in Kate (lemmy.kde.social)

I just spent an hour trying to figure out how to format PHP in Kate and can't do it. I downloaded phpcbf.phar and it works on local files, naturally, but can't use it for remote files which is the majority of how I work (ftp through Dolphin.) So, I need one of two things (I think):

Some sort of tool I can use through Kate to format PHP file in the editor

Figure out if Kate is using a local folder for tmp storage of the file from ftp, and what that folder is.

I love Kate, but this is kind of a show stopper for me. I've got a workaround but it's several steps. In VSCode it's one keyboard shortcut, but I hate it, especially compared to Kate.

The easiest way to do this would be to first select the whole documents, then go to Tools - Filter Through Command, and put PATH/YO/phpcbf.phar - (note the ending - - this is necessary), and click OK. Your document should now be formatted.

If you need to run this a lot and want to be quicker, you can set up an external tool through Tools - External Tools - Configure..., and add a new tool there. Here's an example setup:

The "best" and "official" way to do this would be to install phpactor LSP server with PHP-CS-Fixer integration, however this does not work on remote files.
