Put it in the html snippets file. It is what php files use unless you are inside <?php ?> tags.

As far as I know VSC won't pick up your php snippets even though your file might end in .php , what you have to do is insert manually <? php ... ?> and afterwards your snippets should start work.
If you don't want to enter <? php ... ?> manually every time you can create a global snippet "Preferences-->User Snippets-->New Global Snippets File. Save the new file to something like "global.code-snippets" and then add your php snippet.
Maybe something like that.
"php tag": {
"prefix": "php",
"body": [
"<?php",
" ${1:code}",
"?>"
],
"description": "php tag"}

This was exactly my problem. I created a snippet: "PHP envelope": { "prefix": "php", "body": "<?php $0 ?>", "description": "Enter PHP mode." } that wouldn't work in php.json but now works in global snippets.

Perfect, I had the same problem. I didn't know about global snippets.
Configuring Visual Studio Code for PHP development from here:
- Download and install PHP Debug extension from Visual Studio marketplace.
- In VS Code command panel: press F1 > type ‘install ext’ and select ‘Install Extensions’.
