No there is not, You can set it by Going to File -> Settings -> -- IDE Settings -- -> Live Templates -> Add And using the following values:-

Abbreviation: php
Group: user

Is there a way to assign a keyboard shortcut to specific live template? So, for instance ctrl+p would type . – Dziamid Oct 20 '11 at 12:03

I recommend to use this settings instead (type "" and press "SPACE"): http://magicento.com/assets/img/PHPBlock_live_template.jpg – Enrique Feb 13 '14 at 20:59
#For Mac User: In phpstorm10 on mac the right path is PhpStorm->Preferences->Editor->Live Templates, click on the PHP and add new Live Template. Thanks to @Salman Abbas – Daniele Montes Mar 15 '16 at 22:02
awesome - but the fastest abbreviation could be just `<` then tab. – Mikhail.root Jun 22 '17 at 20:23

Live Templates isn't in Code Style (at least in 2018 version) it's beneath it, but otherwise this helped me for more recent versions, thanks. – Chris Jul 25 '18 at 14:49

In newer versions of PhpStorm(2019.* or higher) adding the shortcut is a little bit different.

First go to File -> Settings (or simply press CTRL + ALT + S). Open Editor tab and find Live Templates tab. Select PHP and click small blue plus icon at the right sidebar, select live template and:

Type shortcut on Abbreviation input.
Type <?php $END$ ?> on template text area.
Define applicable context like php and html.
If you want to expand with another key instead tab, you must define another expand key.

Click Apply and OK buttons. That's it.

Go to

File --> Settings --> Search & click Live Templates

Click + button on the right side then click Live Template

lastly input following:

Abbreviation: PHP
Template Text: <?php $END$ ?>
Context: Check HTML

Click Apply then OK

Now type php and press tab in a php file

 PHP tag (<?PHP ?>) will automatically generated
