For now, use the workaround Colomban recommended by changing the command 
to (all on one line):

     php -d error_reporting='E_ALL & ~(E_STRICT|E_DEPRECATED|E_NOTICE)' 
php_beautifier -s4 -l "..."

Or change it to (untested):

     php_beautifier -s4 -l "..." 2>/dev/null

Or if you're on Windows (also untested):

     php_beautifier -s4 -l "..." 2>NUL

It's needed because a lot of "filter" scripts like PhpBeautifier print 
diagnostics info (ex. those "PHP Strict Standards" messages) on stderr 
by default but Geany, being (overly) paranoid, assumes that if the 
filter command prints diagnostic messages it has failed.

A lot of the other stuff discussed is looking at the cause and potential 
solutions to the problem, in terms of fixing Geany itself (ie. not 
useful to you at the moment).
