There is PHP Language Support, created by Sam Harwell. It has basic editing features for the PHP scripting language.

According to it's Visual Studio Gallery page, current editing features include:

• Syntax highlighting, including support for HTML code outside PHP tags and within documentation comments
• Outlining support for quickly collapsing classes and functions
• Dropdown bars listing classes and functions within the current document This extension has a relatively small feature set, but it's quite fast and usable. It was created as part of an experiment to provide editor features for multiple languages within a single document (PHP, HTML, and formatted documentation comments).
