I prefer a custom keyboard shortcut added to keybindings.json - this lets you add php tags in places where intellisense doesn't work properly, like inside the quotes of html attributes. You can also select some text (maybe you copied some php from elsewhere without the full php tags) and automatically wrap it in php tags. Here is what I use:

{
  "key": "cmd+alt+ctrl+p",
  "command": "editor.action.insertSnippet",
  "when": "editorTextFocus",
  "args": {
    "snippet": ""
  }
}
