Thanks for all of the suggestions and comments. I did a little reading
on programming styles... it turns out my favorite style is called
BSD/Allman. :)
I played around with the emacs customize screen for a while, then ended
up manually added this entry in my .emacs file:

Hello,
I am hoping someone can point me in the write direction. I want to
change how emacs formats code. I'm very picky about spacing and
brackets. If I have to make the change for every mode that is fine, but

to add appropriate lines for each mode to your ~/.emacs file. Probably
cut and paste will do much of it, though.

This is the official GNU indentation style. It does have some nice things about
it... but lately I tend to use KR

Actually in PHP, C and Java you can omit the braces for a
single statement:
if (foo) do_something();
Or in Perl:
do_something() if
