There is a set of vimrc instructions on the Vim Wiki called Better indent support for PHP with HTML that will use the correct plugin depending on the block.

There is also a Vundle/Pathogen Plugin that uses the same code but is easier to install and keeps your .vimrc clean.

Pathogen

cd ~/.vim/bundle
git clone https://github.com/captbaritone/better-indent-support-for-php-with-html.git

Vundle

Place in .vimrc

Bundle 'captbaritone/better-indent-support-for-php-with-html'

Run in vim

:BundleInstall
