In newer versions of PhpStorm(2019.* or higher) adding the shortcut is a little bit different.

First go to File -> Settings (or simply press CTRL + ALT + S). Open Editor tab and find Live Templates tab. Select PHP and click small blue plus icon at the right sidebar, select live template and:

  1. Type shortcut on Abbreviation input.
  2. Type <?php $END$ ?> on template text area.
  3. Define applicable context like php and html.
  4. If you want to expand with another key instead tab, you must define another expand key.

Click Apply and OK buttons. That's it.

lastly input following:

Abbreviation: PHP
Template Text: <?php $END$ ?>

Click Apply then OK

Now type php and press tab in a php file

 PHP tag (<?PHP ?>) will automatically generated
