php snippets not working in sublime text 2?

Question

I am trying to set up sublime text 2 with PHP, but I am having some trouble getting the snippets to work. I have loaded a PHP project and see that the syntax is correctly set to PHP. When I go to preferences -> browse -> packages _>php , I can see a number of PHP snippets that I am unable to activate including $_files $_get ,$post. As far as I can tell, the tab trigger for these are '$_'

<snippet>
<content><![CDATA[\$_COOKIE['${1:variable}']]]></content>
<tabTrigger>$_</tabTrigger>
<scope>source.php</scope>
<description>COOKIE['…']</description>
</snippet>

but this does not generate any snippets being displayed, when I try it in a php file.

Can anyone give me advice on what to do next?

Thank you,

Bill.

I've done this twice now - Just leaving a note for future people who may come across this. Make sure the spelling on the file name is correct, e.g. it ends in .sublime-snippet — Jay

Works on my Sublime Text 2, but only within the <?php ?> tags, not just in a file called .php.

Typing "$_ + TAB" within <?php ?> tags gives a list of all the $_ Snippets COOKIE, FILES, ENV, etc...

My next steps would be:

Do other Snippets work?
Did you create a Snippet that could overrule the $_ ?
Re-install ;-)

You enabled the source for php, you can only be call this snippet in your php file only.

create new file and save as somename.php
write <?php after
type $_ and hit TAB or Ctrl + Space

It generates the snippet, lets happy coding.
