How to force Sublime Text 2 to use a tab of 3 spaces in PHP files?

In some of my PHP files, Sublime shows vertical lines (stop tabs?) Divided by 2 characters, and other files by default have these vertical lines at a distance of 3 characters (my preferred tab length).

Vertical lines can be seen below (these lines are divided into 3 characters):

[Note, I cannot post a screenshot because I do not have enough points!]

My custom settings file is as follows:

{
    "draw_white_space": "none",
    "ignored_packages":
    [
        "Vintage"
    ],
    "tab_size": 3,
    "translate_tabs_to_spaces": true,
    "detect_indentation": false,
    "smart_indent": false,
    "use_tab_stops": false,
    "trim_trailing_white_space_on_save": true,
    "fallback_encoding": "UTF-8",
    "rulers": [80, 120]
}

I tried different permutations detect_indentation, smart_indent and use_tab_stops, i.e. completely omitting true / false, etc. It didn’t matter.
